Is never ever ever a good thing to type.

Especially when it doesn't resolve the problems.


I have a big ass..... dust collector.

Tech Woes

Spent about 4 hrs with remote assistance last night soting stuff out.

Things got stabilized.  Predominant issue seems to be between Window's Media Center and VISTA.  I couldn't leave well enough alone.


 

Media Center is an operating system onto itself that appears to sit on the Vista platform (as least that's how my brain is getting it).  I thought I could go into the OS itself, i.e. media center and make changes to the settings in there, I might be able reload the O/S and resolve the problems.

Ya...not so much.

My big ass computer with the big ass lovely monitor is onw at 94% of a Factory Image Recovery.
Files are backed up, but ALL my other software will have to be re-installed.  AND I have to again (sorry Kev) go back through the system and eliminate the programs (from the factory) that I neither want, nor need.


Meanwhile - on the happier side of things... I may have a coffee date this afternoon.  Yesterdays...got blown away by tech support...SO..my to do list before I can go out?
1.  Move packed up tree & decorations to the basement
2.  Mop main level
3. Finish dishes
4 Shovel out!
5. Shower!!!!!

Should time/motivation/energy allow - find floors in the upper level in order to vacuum.

 

WELL...I have click FINISH. now...cross body parts for me!
 

SAFE MODE

My computer - not me...ooook...Maybe me too!!

Looking for hang out company today, whilst I tidy and do stuff...music is good, chatting is better...  Call me, info on the stalk me page if you have time and/or are interested.

K is FINE....

Trying desparately not to throw my computer out the window.

 

Gateway support, is not helpful...for some reason, my serial number does NOT match with the model number...and I have to find all my purchase information - cause the registration is not showing up on their system....

Have to call Rogers as well - want the cable TV stuff, moved to the basement TV and not through the computer anymore...me-thinks there's a component of that which is complicating my computer.

mmmm...s'all for now.  No plans...even though I'm child-free tonight.  Guess that's what happens when you start to thin out the lovers and friends.
