Here today gone tomorrow!
I hate to say it but, this computer beat me again!! I had my computer checked out and cleaned up last month. Yeah, no real problems back to normal again!! Surfing the web, writing my blog, posting my ads, reading my email, and printing learning pages for the girls. Things were just great until I tried to print pages for the girls, for some odd reason they would not print. I checked everything out that I could see, even ran the repair on the printer thinking it was something stupid that had gotten messed up. Nothing that I had tried seem to fix the problem, if that was not bad enough, Internet Explorer was freezing up and at other times pages would be splayed across the screen.
This all was happening at different intervals and then when it was apparent that I was not going to get the printer working, I decided to un-install the program and reinstall it with the disk, thinking that it would just take some time and that would be one less thing that I would have to worry about. Ha, Ha, the driver would not install the screen would freeze, I kept trying to see what that was all about and found nothing to give me a clue. Gave up on that idea, I can do without the printer right now. I had to control, alt, delete way too many times, lost information that I had been working on, that was the last straw. I called the computer repair person that worked on my computer and set up an appointment for him to come over the next day.
He was coming at 1 o’clock and I was so wanting for this to be over with and the computer back to normal. First he addressed the printer issue and did not seem to be able to figure it out either, I explained a few things and he was checking things out and finally after about 45 minutes he was able to get the printer to reinstall. Next, I was not able to do back-ups because the computer would not let me choose the drive that I wanted to back up the files to, he fixed that issue and the back up started and he instructed me to let the back up finish and then run the anti-virus program again and make sure that there were no viruses hidden. The back-up took forever and when it finally finished and I started the quick scan for the viruses, it took almost 2 and a half hours itself. Into the evening before it finished and I was in the middle of finishing supper and getting the girls ready for bed.
I thought that since the girls were tired and getting to bed early, I would at least be able to have a little time on the computer, until the phone rang. It was my son and he needed me to come to his house, I thought it would still give me time to get on the computer when I came back home because I did not stay long. I sat down and had so many things to do, I was trying to get everything caught up and start fresh in the morning. I was working away and could not keep my eyes open, I was falling asleep at the computer!! So, I gave up and went to bed. I am still playing catch up. As far as the Internet freezing up I had an issue very first thing this morning and nothing since, hopefully it was just a glitch and I wont see it again. Wish me luck.
