I think I wrote down before about my computer problems. They’ve only gotten worse. I updated Vista to SP2. Microsoft deactivated my product code which means that you can turn on the computer and that’s it. It kept telling me that I had an invalid version of Vista. I was so frustrated that I just let the computer sit for well over a week. I finally mustered up the courage and contacted Microsoft. If you don’t know anything about me, let me tell you this – I am NOT a Microsoft fan in any way. Some might ask why I just don’t buy a Mac. It’s simple. Most software makers create with Windows in mind. I can get far more software for Windows than I can for a Mac.
They fixed the problem within an hour. Normally I never allow anyone to take control over my computer, especially Dell. It’s sad to say but I know more than most of Dell’s technical support team. Years ago, one technician insisted on taking control over my computer and crashed it so bad that a new hard drive had to be sent out with a technician to replace it. That was the last time I allowed someone to take control. But since I had no idea what to do about this problem and I know what Microsoft requires of their technicians in terms of certification, I figured it was safe.
So where does that leave me? Still feeling unsafe because of my BIOS problem. So I’ve decided to buy a new motherboard and just forget it. But I have to wait for right now since my dog is in desperate need of x-rays. I’m praying they come back clean but they want to check for cancer. He’s a good dog, fat, but good. Speaking of fat, I’ve started a new blog for weight loss. I’m looking for as many new support lines as I can get. No one can do this alone. If you’re looking to lose weight and want someone to support you, come over to my new blog and help me, help you. I’m a “laugher” so I’ve called the new place Weight for the Laugh. I look around for comics and place them on the blog and interject my own humor when I’m writing. I hope you’ll join me.
I’m out of town right now but when I get back, I’ll find that freebie I have for you and post it. Until then, have a great day!
