The leaf-blower is an inside joke here at the Maw. Some time ago, fastmatt posted a thread saying that after cleaning out the area around his computer with a leaf blower, blowing away dust and debris, his connection became significantly faster. Obviously, we laughed and ridiculed him for how impractical and unrealistic it sounded. Ever since then, whenever people have been facing problems or issues regarding their PCs, we've recommended that they use a leaf blower. It's a joke. The leaf blower is the answer to all.
Hmm... now that you mention it, it does seem like a good idea! [/kidding]

hm. when you sent in the pc, were all the drivers updated? for whatever reason a new driver could be a culprit.
Well, they told me that they had uploaded everything except the graphical and sound card drivers, so I would assume they did. Of course that since they even forgot to install one of my hard drives... one can never take anything they say for granted (and yes, this is officially the last time I'll send my computer to those guys).

reinstall halo? is halo the only broken app?
Yes, it is. Everything else is running smoothly (although I had to personaly take care of some minor problems).
