G, I know, wah wah wah, call whine 1-1. But I actually do get so frustrated I could cry because I really can't afford to physically abuse this infernal contraption (meaning me AND the computer!) and I want to hurt it :o) I'm printing these instructions and will do exactly as you say, although I've never been to some of these places and it's sort of a scary idea. However, this sounds right and it would be great to have a well-behaved machine again, so I'll do it and let you know if it helps. If it does, I'll keep a better handle on maintenance from now on, promise. Should I set a restore point before I do this--if this hateful thing lets me? ~Glo ----- Original Message ----- From: GMan To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 11:33 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Restore Point Sounds like somebody missed 'snack time'. ;O} I'm sorry. I don't mean to poke fun. It's only that I hear from SO many users who feel this way all the time. It's the reason I refer to them as infernal contraptions (the computers, not the users). Still, let's see if we can't force Winders to see things your way a bit more..... --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
