I think it's a hardware problem.<BR/><BR/>He wasn't on the bus. Yay! Haven't seen him since his little make-my-flesh-crawl self-introduction. Double yay! I believe enough time has passed that if he approaches me again and tries to see if I remember him I can say "no" and be believed. Triple yay!--Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551207516174210115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21414028.post-24451817480706539692009-01-30T20:03:00.000-05:002009-01-30T20:03:00.000-05:00If there's any service time remaining on your comp...If there's any service time remaining on your computer's contract, take advantage of it while you can. <BR/><BR/>If you've had the machine a few years, take a quick look at the hard drive to see how much space you've used. (My computer, right click on C:\ drive, select Properties)<BR/><BR/>Clear out your internet history, delete the cookies, and run a spyware scan if you don't already have something running in the background. <BR/><BR/>I haven't done it myself in ages, but maybe you need to "defrag" your hard drive. What this does is take all the junk stored all over the drive and sort of consolidate it. It's supposed to make things run more efficiently. (My Computer, right click C:\ drive, Properties, "disk cleanup.")<BR/><BR/>Take a note of when it burps. Are you usually visiting a particular site or running certain programs simultaenously? (For reasons unknown to me, Internet Explorer often locks up on me when I'm running Excel at the same time.) <BR/><BR/>These things may work, and they may do nothing, but they're free and worth a shot. <BR/><BR/>Well, I hope your bus ride home was peaceful and gigolo free. We'll have to come up with some good "go away" retorts. <BR/><BR/>todays' word: anceph. Sounds brainy, huh?Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275183297341205710noreply@blogger.com
