I worked on a computer that had this simular problem. (windows 98) My mouse pointer would show in safe mode, with both a serial and a ps/2 style mouse.But when it came to normal mode, good bye mouse. I thought definitly driver conflict. Device manager quoted vmouse.vxd, code 8.But a little hard work and I discovered that the system.ini file could cause this problem. It has a number of boot settings within the file. But look for *displayfallback in the [boot] section, make sure it is set to 0 not 1. It should look like this *displayfallback=0. If there is any other displayfallback entries delete them. Make sure there is no other [boot] directories, other than the [boot.description] section, do not delete this entry. (also as a note make sure there is no text or code before the [boot] section, this could cause problems also.

What I did: I open system.ini using the RUN command in the START (just type system.ini), it appeared in notepad, & I checked... the value was correct (0) but then I realised there's some funny characters b4 the [boot] section. So I deleted it & saved the file, reboot the computer & TADA! The mouse pointer CAME BACK! Haha...That's a really simple solution!!



# Oh. Good. I almost forgot. After 9/10 years wanting & hoping (that) my parents would subscribe to ASTRO... They finally DID last Friday. (Thanks to AF4)
FINALLY.

WRONG TIMING.

This always happens to me.
Good things comes/happens when you don't want it anymore OR hope for it OR forgot about it. Really unfair. My siblings "enjoy life" more early than me. They own handphones at the age of 11. They can watch ASTRO at the age of 12. They can use the computer & internet at the age of 8. They got what they want at these ageS. I didn't get all this when I'm their age. Unfair.

I went through all the hardtimes, & they can just easily "enjoy their life" the rest of their life. Yeah...right..

Oh well. What's done is done.

Anyway, while the computer was "sick", I watched "Malcolm in the Middle" & "Passport to Japan almost everyday... And Monk. And Avatar (Love this!). NTV7. 8TV. But I still miss the computer.

# So it happened that I can't go the school of my choice for Form 6. Although I COULD go to matrics in Labuan (checked it already)... I'm staying here in Kota Kinabalu to pursue my studies in f6 in another school near my home...

So what if I can't get into All Saints... [the principle didn't "like" my science subjects grades (5-5-6 C) ~not her exact words~ "You can't succeed in F6 (..in our school..). You can't. You should just go to matrics. That will suit you better."; IN SHORT~ She's saying that I'm TOO STUPID for her school.]

A~ah~
People who call or treat me like a stupid person IS a STUPID PERSON.

So what if my new school is unpopular... So what & so what.

What I want & need now is a platform where I can be a f6 student & SIT for STPM exam next year.



# I read the first chapter of my BIO STPM reference book. Great. The information goes in smoothly into my head. Until I started thinking "What's this in Malay again?"

The thing is: Even if you had memorise everything while in f4/f5 (memorized 90% understood 10%) doesn't mean you can cope with Science & Maths (in English!) in f6 OR Matrics. Don't be TOO over-confident, my friends.

Okay. Maybe it REALLY depends on the person. Like what I saw in "Dragon Sakura/Zakura", those that have nothing in their head (bakaS), with the help from good (I mean it.), really GOOD teacher & teaching skills, these "empty heads" could be more successful than those A Cram-schooled students.

Some ppl will end up spending much time on "harmonizing" malay terms/facts with the english terms/facts they've just learnt.

Some ppl will live on by "eating their books."

And some ppl, after reading this post, don't agree with me, thus STUDY HARD to prove I'm wrong. I know who you are. (wow. I become your motivation to study?)

OK. Fine. Whatever.

I don't care.

I have to do things I don't like to be successful.
I'll do anything to win.
Even if I have to swindle
[I haven't watch Eps 7! & I don't mean this by cheating in exam!]

So what if I'm machiavellian-ish? I don't care.

My head is half-empty with corrupted data here and there.
