The adviser probably has trouble with the software too?

Too bad he knew nothing about the computer I was going to use, and knows that I have extensive experience working with this program, both generally and (less but still experience) working with it the way I was going to. He is having trouble with the software- but the problem with the computer was not with the software I was going to use, it was with the login of the computer itself.
I am trying to believe that he was trying to say something along the lines of "well, she has had really bad luck with this project, this just adds to that" but it is really hard to do. The tone just didn't sound like that, and he tends to run very hot or very cold. And he seems to switch on his own schedule.
