would somebody please tell me what i have done to the computer gods to make them despise me with this level of venom? it just never stops. ever. they absolutely positively despise me.

ok.. so my computer is relatively cleanly installed. given, it’s a sony vaio, but it was just shipped back for a new harddrive 2 months ago. installed ms office (an illegal copy, but nonetheless). excel works, word works, power point works.. but outlook – outlook won’t even start. auto-segfault. and of course, can’t get company’s software installed on here to dial in so i can’t check email. of course.

this just amazes me. why does this happen?
