Isn't it annoying? We live in the future, and setting up a printer is still a complete nightmare.

New!

I've bought a new PC. For the very first time with a new PC, it worked first time. Every previous one I've bought has had to go back to the seller for amendments. Go me!

My computer has been a nightmare. Latest game was just going black, and it was by accident that I remembered that I’d left the HDMI plugged in to the television, and that was causing the problem. I did have, though, to reinstall my anti-virus program and hopefully that’ll last a while. I hate it when my computer collapses like this, it’s just a nightmare.

Had a sudden random update of Windows 10 this morning. It took ages, but seems to have cured the buzzing that was making using this PC such a pain in the neck. Yippee?

The only thing that has gone wrong with my upgrade to Win10 is that I've lost the ability to send emails except using webmail.

Argh! Computers suck sometimes #2

The big question...do I update to Windows 10, or don't I? I'm still undecided. I've been reading marahmarie with interest and care. She recommended a BIOS update for my laptop, which I'm applying even as I write, but actually my turn for having my desktop updated has already been notified to me.

I've finally got my computer to talk to my TV, something which before I 'upgraded' happened natively and now doesn't.

Bloody computers

Thu, 09 Jul 2015 17:28:52 GMT

I do hate software, I wish computers just worked - I've just had to uninstall ZoneAlarm from my desktop because installing it on the laptop led to the realisation that it hasn't beem updating properly.

Meanwhile… having said I wouldn't do something, I then do it

Bloody computers. Er...help? Anyone? Bueller?

What I want to do should be fairly simple, or at least there should be a means to do it which isn’t a complete hassle to set up. Computers, however…

More computer stuff

Well, so far, I got through to Vibox just after 10am, and they agreed that the problem is probably the PSU. I've a collection of the unit scheduled for today (which is impressive considering I rang them today) and that should happen before 5pm.
