200 and counting......

The only sounds you may hear (see) coming from Friburgo this week is the sound weeping and screeching, and ripping of hair from the roots. I am at over 200 update downloads, plus restarting of the computer when it just stops AND the download of a temporary office program (because I think my Office 2007 disc is in Rio) AND its updates to make it work properly, and my Internet link stopping .... and the fix needing to be download (my wireless adapter not working, needing to be updated because the operating system is updated???) If going crazy burned calories I would be wasted away to the bone. I fear though that this stress makes me hungry for cookies .... the old viscous circle. did you know that the auto backup only backs up data files, no programs? Did you know that if you replace the hard drive the auto backup thinks it is a new computer? Did you know that when you start up a new hard drive with a new download of Vista and the user name / computer name is different than the old - the auto backup thinks that you don't have permission do import the files..... ?   Did you know that if you follow the instruction and create a user by the 'other' name - those files are private and can't be shared by the user with the 'new' name.... ????? the nest sound you hear may be my patience exploding.....

  2. Barry, I would never recommend upgrading an older computer, many issues like ram memory not large enough for it. wait another year and then buy new with windows 7 - and then only if comes with any Service packs issued.
