Exploding Garrmondo Weiner Interactive Swiss Army Penis - Everything that can go wrong will go wrong.

Cut to the chase--recently I've installed Windows XP on my computer, and installed a new harddrive (a slave drive). Things have been going remotely well, besides the fact that programs I've installed going on hiatus and really irritating my computer use.

First things first, I have an HP Prescision scanner that I used to use VERY REGULARLY before I installed the OS and harddrive. Since the installment of both, I tried re-installing it and for some reason it currently doesn't initialize. I've tried troubleshooting, going to the site to get some advice, everything; it just doesn't work. Yes I still have the disk to install it and all the plugs I need to get everything working--fact of the matter is, the scanner turns on, the program seems to be operating just fine, HOWEVER, it simply doesn't work.

Next, my mouse has been fucking up. Why, I don't really know, but it has. It's a logitech optical mouse, and despite its brand its worked fine up until the install. Now it works very shittily and I don't know why. The plug in the back of my computer are all in and secure, so I can't understand why it's being this way.

Now, for IE. For some reason today, IE or XP decided to be really gay and disable my use of the drop-down feature on the address bar. I don't recall touching anything that would otherwise impair this feature, so I don't know what the fuck is going on here. I'm not fond of Firefox so please don't suggest I switch browsers unless I absolutely-fucking-have to.

I'm sure there are more shit problems with my computer, but at the top of my head those are the 3 that are pissing me off the most. If anyone can help me out with this and END MY FUCKING SORROW I would really appriciate it, thank you.
