Everything was going swimmingly as I installed software, breezing through
moving both AT&T and CompuServe connections, including favorites and cookies,
and then through Nota Bene, Quicken, PWP Pro 3.5, and so on and so forth, until
I got to -- anyone? anyone? -- Olympus Studio. I have the CD with 1.2 on it,
which I installed without a hitch. But when I attempt to update to 1.5, I run
into a problem.
I downloaded the 11.5MB update and ran it, and all seemed in order until it got
to the final screen with the choices of "restart computer now" or "restart
computer later." I have chosen "restart computer now," and it just quits; I
have chosen, "restart computer later," and in quits, in either instance just
minimizing itself and sinking to the bar thingy on the bottom of the screen
like a rotten carp, lying there unresponsive to any mouse prodding. If I shut
down the computer, I get that annoying message that "Olympus Studio 1.5 Update
is not responding," or some such, and whether I let if finish whatever it's
doing or choose "end now" and kill it then and there -- with increasing malace
and greater pleasure after a half dozen attempts to get this thing to work --
the result is the same: Olympus Studio is still V. 1.2.
Question: I had no such problem when updating 1.2 to 1.5 on my laptop, so 1.5
is "over there" and working fine. I thought about just copying the .exe file,
but I can't find it. The only application file Winders will show me is only
28KB, which I know ain't it. So, if I burn a CD with the whole shebang, i.e.,
directory and subdirectories, and overwrite what's in the new computer with it,
will I end up with Studio 1.5? Or will I make more problems?
I got so annoyed f***ing with it that I went down to the garage, backed the SSR
out into the driveway and played with it some more, listened to it idle, even
retracted the top just to marvel at how really cool that is. It's so nice to
deal with something that actually works like it ought to, notwithstanding, of
course, the fact that the SSR is the product of a century of constantly
advancing automobile technology and cost over 20 times what this silly computer
thing cost. Still, I shouldn't have to put up with this crap! I was so pleased
with my lovefest with the SSR that I have ordered a couple more goodies for
her, neither or which (are)(is) fuzzy dice or mudflaps. I'm still working on
the gunrack. :-)
