Re: Win 7 doesn't start
Duh! I feel so stupid. But I got the sFC thing to run and it did not find anything corrupted.
Now, I was trying to connect to the internet from her laptop so that I could download CC and stuff but alas, I can't get connected. I went in and connected hers to our wireless and the map shows that it is connected to our wireless. But, when I try to open up an internet connection from either google chrome or mozilla, which she has loaded, neither of them can complete connecting. And, I can't find internet explorer versions under control panel-programs. It is like vanished.
And, to make things more interesting, while I was sitting there, I thought I was hearing voices. After 5 minutes to get the volume turned up on it, realized that some commercial was playing. Now, was it pulling that from the internet or what? I have no idea!
I looked at her list of programs and I don't think she has any virus program either.
If I knew for sure that I could get all software CD's and or authenticator codes for everything program wise that she has installed, I'd wipe the darn thing back to factory condition and start all over. Except that I highly doubt this child has kept any of that info nor ever gave it a thought.
Told hubby that I was so frustrated, at least if something happened to our computer, I have several notebook pages for step by step details on how to do the factory reinstall and the what,how, and where to download every program and printer that needs to be reloaded. I have personal files backupped in multiples.
Never did learn how to do that whole system mirror image thingy but still, at least I'm confident that if our system died we could either revive her or load the stuff onto a new one without a major headache.
Oh, and did I mention that she asked if I could make several of her USB drives work? I hadn't even gotten that far, just 1 drive for her optical mouse in use so far.
Which way do I go next? And, where's the Tylenol?
And, I stil hear voices coming from it - it is on the desk in the bedroom currently and I'm in the dinning room on my trusty, faithful and now- very much loved and appreciated laptop
