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!
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.
