Back from the internet unknown

As most of you are probably aware, I was gone due to computer problems. I seemed to have fixed it, or at least made it bearable enough to where I can finally do my tags as some of you have probably noticed. So this means that Caius, Angeal and Baralai are out and about with Caius coming back from the wilds of the unknown, Baralai coming back from his temple hoping and Angeal will be a little more sociable.
I'm sorry if my blackout put a lot of threads on hold and that wasn't my intention at all. Some things just don't want to cooperate and computers are fickle things.
To make a long story short, I had two computers that I was using. One was dependable and worked great while the other was still in need of work (which is the one I'm using now), then a power surge happened. The power surge fried my motherboard on the dependable one which put a huge push toward fixing the one I'm using. With constant BSoD, (Blue Screens of Death) every few hours, it made using the computer almost impossible.
Then updates happened.
Those updates made the system even worse for a while. So I replaced the memory. Found out that wasn't the issue at all and the computer was still unstable. It took 5 people, a light bulb and several trials and errors to finally say, "Screw this, it's toast." Just when I said that, the light bulb came into the picture. It wasn't the hardware, it wasn't the OS, it was the a lack of something called a maintenance driver that I didn't have that I needed. Now that it's "hopefully" fixed, I'm back.
