where is Judy
 

I must be really stressed out about my surgery tomorrow.
Meant to say, "Did she get her new computer up and running?":eek::eek:

Any word?

Is Judy ok????

didn't she say she was having computers problems?

That's what she said. Hope she's up and posting soon.

I didn't get in touch with her yesterday, I groomed and bathed 9 dogs and it took the whole freak'n day!! I'll see what I can find out today.

I wondered about you yesterday. The one day I get the chance to be on here and no one wanted to come out and play LOL.

I wanted to be on, but right in the middle of doing the dogs, I forgot I had a hair appt too. So I lost 90 minutes right in the middle of the day..lol.

Here I am!!! Thanks for missing me. I missed you too.

My computer was going down and I called a computer guy. After he left, it didn't work at all! What a wannabee geek. He also had body odor.

I got on the phone Saturday and ordered a new one, almost the same model as my old one, but updated.

I hope my external hard drive has everything in it from the old computer! I got that out and did a back up on Thursday. Then, my SIL just had to play with the broken one and completely broke it! I'm still mad about that. If I didn't transfer all of my files, I have to find a way to get them off the old hard drive.

Anyway, I bought this computer that I'm using a few months ago.l It's a refurbished laptop and is pretty good. It's an older model. Took me a day plus to set up my email, and it's still not right.

I can't wait for my new one to come.

Glad that your ok and happy to see you on. I missed you!

Hey girl....was I wrong that you were missed???? LOL. I'll be glad when you get your new computer...new ones are so much fun to learn and have newer programs and just all kinds of stuff...lol. Now....you want us to come get that wannabe geek?

Judy, how are you liking your new computer? You've had a few days to become familiar with it. Sorry about the old one crashing. There are people who can retrieve information off of them after they've crashed. My husband has a friend that's been able to save info off of several that have crashed on us.

Hi again. It has been busy here. I set up the refurbished computer as much as I need to. It's a great backup, but it's really for my grandchildren when they visit or sleep over. My oldest gd is thrilled. She goes up to the den and zones into her 11 year old computer zone.

I submitted the last post before I finished :confused:

Oh well....at least some of the brain cells still work.

I am on my new computer. It is a real beauty! I've been setting it up and learning Vista. I did finally get info off the external hard drive onto my refurbished computer. I'm going to send the real hard drive and the external hard drive from the old computer to my cousin's husband. He's a computer person. I have a feeling that if anyone can get more info off of it, he can. I'm really, really stubborn!
I want my stuff!!!

Good luck getting your stuff back. It can be a pain, but it's well worth it in the end if you have photos and such.

I have the photos and I also have the memory card from my camera, thank goodness!!! I would really be upset if I lost those.

Actually, you put it in perspective for me. I really haven't lost that much. I saved a lot of info on my computer, but I think I may have a lot of it. I have to go through what got retrieved. I kept some legal stuff on there, etc. Now I know I have to back this kind of stuff up on a flash drive.

This new computer does an automatic backup every day, but after 2 days, I have run out of backup space and am being told to buy more. I have to research this. It's a trial Norton package.

I am really disgusted with the way computers are sold these days. My Microsoft Office, Norton package, and I'm not sure if anything else, are trial packages. You have to buy them after a certain time. I never had that happen before. Computers came with certain programs and then some. Now, they want to charge me for backup memory??? I also have my own Norton program, CD, registration # and all. The computer would not allow me to load it. I'll wait until the trial period is over and try again. I already paid for Norton!

If you keep having problems, send me a PM. My hubby is GREAT with stuff like that and he can walk you through step by step to help you get everything you need.

My husband was a little lost when he got his laptop. He thought there would be a nice word program on it, but all it had was a notebook type. Can't really do very much editing with it. I think he may end up buying the MSWord separatly.

So Judy...tell all about your computer.

I use to have Norton, now I use free stuff that my computer guy put on and have never had a problem. www.avast.com and, I don't have the web address, you can search it, Malwarebytes'Anti-Malware. I think it is all in the same program.

My hubby who is a computer science student seconds the recommendation for avast. It's what he uses on his own computers. He's tried EVERYTHING and it's his favorite.
