    Computer Problems: FIXED!!

    Finally after months my Archival Computer is back up and running, while I still have to install drivers for the graphics card I've gotten LibreOffice working (turns out I was using the wrong version) and after doing a quick check on the last word doc I edited before this whole thing happened I can happily confirm it's all there as I left it. :pinkiehappy:

    I'm Back.

    So ultimately I only stayed for two nights and just got home a half-hour ago, but my Grandma is doing well and was happy to have me around. This was only going to be a short visit from the get-go and was only going to stay one night, but chose to stay two to visit with her. :twilightsmile:

    Going to be offline for a bit

    I'm going to be visiting my Grandma for at least a few days, might only be one night, but not sure on that front. Either way, I'm not gong to be online for a bit since my Grandma's place might not have internet (not sure if that's been fixed or not) so most likely I won't be able to log-on to anything during that time. That and I'd rather not log-on to anything when I'm not using my own

    Computer Problems: Quick Update

    So; good news is my Archival Computer (AC) is more-or-less up and running and all my pictures are there and fine, just need to install drivers for my graphics card to fix some screen issues (nothing serious, just have a black void on either side of the desktop) and my LibreOffice.

    Computer Problems, possibly Fixed?

    So a short while back my old XP Machine, which I'm using as an "Archival Computer" for things like pictures, word documents, and playing older non-Steam games, had a crash were the hard drive holding the OS for it kicked the bucket. So here's the story behind that;

Computer Problems: Quick Update · 5:49am May 21st

So; good news is my Archival Computer (AC) is more-or-less up and running and all my pictures are there and fine, just need to install drivers for my graphics card to fix some screen issues (nothing serious, just have a black void on either side of the desktop) and my LibreOffice.

Had a bit of a scare when I started having runtime errors on my external when trying to transfer pictures, but thankfully that's been fixed.

The bad news; I'm now having issues get LibreOffice to install. :facehoof:

For context; because the AC is not hooked-up to the net, since there's no real point as I'm no longer using it for the net anyway, I have to download LibreOffice onto my main computer (which Ironically was only build so I could play games on Steam, I didn't stop using XP as the main one for a long time), then once the download has been scanned to make sure it's clean I move it onto the external then from that onto the AC.

But it's telling my the installer package or whatever can't be opened. :facehoof:

I regret never backing up the one I had before when it was installed, but you learn something every day. Now I know for next time.

Now my leading theory is that I simply have the wrong version, since there's one for 32bit and one for 64bit, so I might have grabbed the wrong one. Though if anyone who reads this Blog has any ideas on anything I might have missed I'm all ears.

So that's where I am at the moment, further than I expected but not as far as I hoped. But a little progress is still progress and I'll take that over no progress anytime.

One step at a time, buddy. 👍

And yeah, the theory that you have the wrong version sounds about right to me: I had a similar problem where I had to download something, and my Mac was too out of date (as I had it for a few years now) to be able to handle the upgrades. Definitely see if getting the other version helps.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. :twilightsmile:

I think what happened is I downloaded the 64bit version when I needed the 32bit, as its telling me "This installation package could not be opened", so that's why it won't work. But hopefully that'll be fixed soon.

I have the 32bit version downloaded, now it's just a matter of transferring it over. If it still doesn't work then I'm at a dead end, so here's hoping it works.

here's hoping it works.

🤞 Fingers crossed, buddy. 🤞
