Trish Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 At Christmas we upgraded our computer, all was well it a month ago when our eldest son tried to re install a game. The whole thing fell over completley, wouldn't even boot up It's taken four weeks and four reinstalls of Windows to get up and running again. So sorry to everyone with good, bad or funny news, I will try and catch up but it's not going to be a quicke job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Oh Trish! poor you. I've only missed one day this week - and I've been here since 7.30am (I've just put at the bottom of a PM to Kate - "I must only read topics I must only read topics... .............")

Trish Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Hi Nicola, worst thing was it was a game that worked fine on the machine before hubby upgraded it!! looks a bit bad with him being an analyst programmer but hey ho as he said it's a "hardware thing" he's not a techie. Looks like we're stable now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
