computer scare

[chanter1944]

Yeah, I had one earlier today.

This morning I went to get on the computer briefly before I went to my second class, nothing new. And last night I heard the computer restart probably after installing some new updates or something. Again, nothing new. But when I tried to bring up my desktop I discovered that JFW wasn't speaking. So I said ok, restart and it'll be fine. I ended up having to have someone read what was on the screen since JFW wasn't working after the restart, and it said log on to windows and it needed a password. I have the system configured to log on to windows automatically and never prompt for a password. So I ring Dell tech support. And over the course of the rest of the afternoon there are about five different people who I have to ask to read my screen to me. And eventually it gets worked out but oh *frak* did that scare me!

But it's working now, so yay!!! And no files lost, so double yay!!!

Going to go learn from my experience and load a whole buncha files to Lina's site.

You seem to have disabled the back button on your site, which is generally a poor idea. I found it difficult to navigate and didn't get to read as many logs as I wanted because of it. :(

And just as an FYI, as I can't remember if I've said this to you or not-ICly, L'yan would still be visiting Alina and Mellayne regularly. He wouldn't abandon them!

Oops... will fix that as soon as I figure out how. Sorry...

Thanks! I took a brief look at the code to see if I could point you in the right direction, but I was tired and there was so much crap that Angelfire stuck in their on their own that I wasn't able to find the relevant code. Sorry.

[chanter1944]

That's why I can't find anything relevant... angelfire's making a mess of things. Ugh. I'll keep looking.

And *nod* L'yan would still be visiting Lina and Mellayne, cool beans! Would D'mer? Lina ICly would want him involved in 'Layne's upbringing.

I'm not sure about D'mer. I think so, but I'll need to ask him to be sure.

[chanter1944]

Okie... how is he, anyway?

[firebyrd.livejournal.com]

He's good. Busy, but good. That is, if you're talking about the player. If you're talking about the character, he's good...for now. Bwahahahaha.

Did you try loading narator? that often times helps me when soething goes wrong. hold down the windows key and press u. I might add that this only works on 2000 or XP.

[chanter1944]

It wasn't even allowing me to get into windows, I don't know if Narrator would've worked... I didn't know about that command either, thanks!
