My computer is back!!

[DianaB]

I'm glad that you're up and running....again!!! I hope that your hard drive lasts longer than a year. You know that they probably have the technology to make it last forever but then you wouldn't have to buy another one. I hate the way that thinking goes!! I'm glad that you're up and running again!!!!

That's really the pitts that there are longer lived hard drives, but they don't use them in the repairs!!! Computers are too expensive to last only 1-2 years!!! GRRRRR!!!

Glad you have your computer back Judy. Even though the one I'm using isn't too bad....I wish I had mine back too.

I have not been around much these days my computer needs memory I ordered on line and waiting for it to come.. I also got a great deal on Thanksgiving morning on a laptop so that should be arriving.. I have not been posting on here or much on FB.. My computer is slow and freezing up on me...


I hope everyone had a nice holiday talk soon!

[Janet]

Found out my hard drive needs replaced too. It overheated from being on my lap so much...lol....go figure. Anyway......does it come back exactly the way it was except for what I put on it?

It has all of the basic programs, but you have to back up all of your documents, pictures, music, bookmarks (check out imarks or foxmarks), and whatever else you can get onto a flash drive. You have to set up your mail again, and redo a lot on your basic set up, like opening and setting up applications. I saved my email, and then transferred it to Outlook, but you have to validate Works or Word before you open up your email, or it won't transfer. You have to find the serial number.
I did lose stuff, but I think I can find it on my flash drive if I really search. A lot of stuff just involved going online and reopening things, like this site.

Are you still under warranty?

Oh Janet! I'm so sorry the hard drive has to be replaced!!! I hope you don't lose anything. I've never had any computer trouble, so I don't have a clue what to do - but Judy seems to have great advice!
