I figured the new construction people working on the houses down the road were probably tampering with phone lines. I've been told that doesn't affect any internet, but it happens anyway so I don't believe them. Coincidentally, I also have my portable/external dvd player plugged in right now, I got tired of hearing the same few songs looping around on my tiny ipod, so I'm playing my way through a batch of old CDs.

I get those annoying pop-up boxes in RED, warning me that HIPPIE is unprotected. I just hit the OK box. I've only been told forty-eleven times now!<br /><br />I think my problem had something to do with that game CD. Like I tried to turn the power off before it had closed itself out, maybe, and it kept running on that loop and needed the CD to accomplish its shut-down. Even though I'd been playing it without the CD hooked up, I think the update messed with something.<br /><br />I hope your computer stops teasing you! And sorry to hear that you were trapped in your chair. That's one of my nightmare scenarios, with my cell phone not working in the basement, and Hick unable to hear me upstairs when he's in bed. Lucky for me, Genius gave me one of those backup power thingies that he no longer needed. Not sure what he used it for, but probably his fancy-schmancy computer when he lived in his college house.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937038870722238271.post-37024697922516402312022-07-18T21:18:01.161-05:002022-07-18T21:18:01.161-05:00My laptop did strange things for a few weeks.

I figure something has taken over the whole computer and is teasing me. I am glad yours works now.Practical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.com
