Have you tried reversing the polarity of the secondary transfluxor array?

Try restarting first and then see if your problem occurs again.

You'll need to aptget the telnet client and try to reflux the hosts folder. If that doesn't work, reboot your handlers and reflap.

I tried to do what you said but I might've done it wrong. The problem persists, albeit only partially.
Where did I mess up?

Also, towards which cardinal direction does your DVD drive open? Try pointing it towards Mecca.

I think it's a Dell, but it could be a Mac.

Hahaha, that's quite clever.
Also, your ambiguous multi-OS could easily be causing the problem. You may want to consider unplugging every single plug, then turning it into an amazingly large paperweight.

I solved the problem.
Thanks!!


As this is probably a common problem, I'm going to sticky this so that people can link to it if someone comes by with the same issue.

Think but this, and all is mended,

Make a little voodoo doll of your system32 folder, and poke it randomly until you find the corrupted data. Then cut out the affected area, burn it, and scatter the ashes onto your motherboard.

Smack your computer with a wrench.

And if that fails, use Glad Force Flex Bags. Crisis aversion guaranteed.
