Hi Craftie, I can sympathise with you on this one. I used to get the blue screen of death? I thought I had sorted it...now my pc just shuts down then restarts by its self. I was going to smash it in to little pieces (like the old smash advert lol)but I have years worth of stuff on here so I need to buy a new pc and transfer my old data to it first, then I can smash it in to little pieces :) By the way my pc does this almost every hour? this is now the 2nd time of writting this to you. good luck Paul AKA SOLDIER BLUE

Hi John, good buddy, I do wish you would cut it out with all those colors they hurt my eyes :( Paul otherwise keep up the good work pal.

Hi Linda, Here you go, a Poem I wrote a couple of years ago - hope this will cheer you that you are not the only one who has had problems. Amanda

Computers

Oh these computers are
such a pain in the neck
They lock up on you at the most
vital times you can bet !

Illegal operations you are
many times screened
How the heck..!
Where have I been ?

Are there such institutions
as cyber traffic cops
To render you a ticket
while typing at speed on your desktops ?

Trying desperately to get
everything completed
before this blinken
computer defeats me

Dangerously low on resources
But I did not take these courses !
Frozen up screens...
You know what I mean ?
Firing up scandisk, hoping to get a fix
Resorting to defrag if the errors are too thick
How many times is this to be,
before I smash this thing to smithereens ?

So I wait about to see what might happen
Hit ctrl, alt & delete, but nothing happens
Reboot and shut the thing down
With a scowling frown

Give it a minute to let it rumble
Let it cool down, while I sit here and grumble
Ah shucks *&?*?..
And start all over again

Linda, I want to say I understand fully. What kind of computer is it...? And to you Paul, why don't you download the info to discs so you don't have to lose anything? That is the only way I would have all my info. My laptop had a year's worth of things on it that I cannot completely replace. When my home was broken into last June, they took my laptop and everything in it.. Now, once a week I do a "back-up" to my CD-ROM disc, and erase my data so it can't be stolen again.
