STUMBLING ALONG

We got a wireless router with this computer but I'm too stupid to get it to work! It would be nice to set in the recliner and use this here thing. Maybe I'll figure it out in a few days.

I stayed home yesterday to work on the computer but still have a lot to go. It is amazing how much stuff gets put on a computer. Much of what was on the other one.......most of what was on the other one is lost for good if I can't get it back up somehow. We took it to Best Buy (Geek squad) to have a diagnostic program run on it. Before we took it in a few things didn't work right but after we got it back it won't boot up windows because of a missing file (\windows\system32\config\system). They said that I needed to take windows off and reinstall $110.00. Anything that I want save is another $89.00 each and they can't save the stuff in Outlook Express. The computer does tell me to put in the start up cd and try to repair it that way...........I don't have a start up CD. I'm told that we can order one from Hewlett Packard for $30.00. I guess that's our next step.

No the next step is to say goodbye and click send.

No quotes on this computer, sad to say.
