Hi All

Post: # 19035Post Shirley »

Not been posting much as I'm down in Manchester at the moment - will hopefully be travelling back up on Sunday though......

I brought my computer with me as I thought that was the easiest way to show my mum the hundreds of photos I've got on here.

Last night my computer just STOPPED working... very strange... I think there is a big harddrive problem imminent so this mornings job is to rush out first thing and pick up some DVD RW to back up.

It wants to check the disc and then tells me that there is an unspecified error (YIKES) and then eventually if I don't run the disk check it starts up and says that the system has recovered from a serious error.

Sooooooooo I might be without a pc for a few days if I can't sort it myself.

I've managed to pick up a heap of seed trays and plant pots that have been abandoned in my mum's back garden. I'm also going to do that lavender in a pot trick that they showed on GW the other week - my dad was the gardener here and since he died 4 years ago nobody has done anything really.

Weather here is SOOOOOOOOO warm - apparently it will be 23C today while the folks at home in Aberdeenshire will end up with 14C :flower:

Hi Shirlz - wondered where you'd got to!

I'm going to do the same thing with laptop/photos to show my Mum too!

Hope you get the computer sorted :( but enjoy the warm weather! :lol:

Hi Shirlz,
Have you tried updating through Microsoft?

Hope to see you back in action soon!

Hi Shirlz,

My laptop has just started throwing a similar wobbly, namely whinging about fatal system error, etc., the dialogue box is different from any that I've seen before, and then just to annoy me completely it logs me off and the screen goes blank. This has only started to occur since I switched ISP (at least that's what I hope is causing it) unless there's a nasty virus going about.

Good to hear from you again Shirlz, I wondered why you were so quiet-most out of character! You can get quite a lot on one of those little USB pen drive things too they're quite handy for portable photos and stuff. Good luck against the technology and safe journey home,

(BIL said its rained in Aberdeen constantly for the last 2 days, so enyoy the sunshine!)

kind thoughts
Deb
