Norman, Ok
For the Windows 8 users... If you weren't aware, you can get Win8.1 for free from Microsoft.

Just go into the Store ( on the Win8 Start Screen ) and click to download the update.

More than likely you will want to burn the download to disk ( asuming they give us that option, I'm 50% the download so I'm not certain if it is an option as of yet ), in which case you will need a blank DVD. This is a large download, close to 4Gb so be prepared for a bit of a wait.

My husband has been working on updating his for a few hours today. I am letting him test it first before I break mine! LOL

I'm performing the update on my home system first before attempting it on the work computer....

So far, it has errored once saying it couldn't install with an 0x80004005 error... an odd one since I believe that indicates an activation error and I purchased directly from MS so I know the key code is correct. I've checked for disk errors and if the next attempt ( which I'm in the middle of ) doesn't complete, I'll have Windows check it's own files out for a possible corruption ( ie sfc.exe /scannow ) .... After that, who knows.. :D

REMINDER !!!!

(Game started 10/13 @ 7:52 PM EDT

As of Thursday 10/17 @ 3:39 PM EDT
Let's Have Some Fun !!! :D-- Round #15
Pick 4 number from 1201 - 1600
Check the board for available numbers:
Link to Gotvapes Game Board!

Colored cells are taken.
Winning number(s) are chosen via Random.org at game end.

The Prize:
The Natural Stainless Telescopic by SMOKtech



= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

A 'liked' post does not mean you've got that number (or that you yourself are even liked). The first person to pick a number gets that number whether it's marked on the board or not. When we 'Like' your picks that means one of the five helpers are marking them on the board. If there are any mistakes/conflicts, we will reply to your post. So check back a while after you pick to see if we noted any problems.


Please do not edit your pick posts.

If someone already took your number, or an error was made, please wait for a helper to post the error. Please "Reply With Quote" to the helper's post with your new pick.



A helper will announce a new round of picks at random times, so check back often and keep track of what round you've already made picks in.

Certainly....

btw, second attempt did fail also, again without much info to use to track down an error so I'm on my own in that department.

My husband got his finished w/o any errors just took forever with the billion restarts and waiting.. its not too different from what I can see, the start button is not a true start button just takes you to your start screen... booo
