I had that happenclearwater55December 30 2006, 07:40:09 UTC
Well I had a problem back in the summer time with my tower doing exactly what your description is. Friends of mine who are access techs trying to get their IT licenses said it was a virus when it wasn't. What happened is I had bad sectors on my hard drive. After that was cleaned and almost 3 weeks of no computer pushing my project back big time, my tech had to do a system restore via the Bios. When clearly that made more hell for me when it disabled my USB, printer and modem ports. My now exboyfriend James had to do a fresh install.
My advise is: Have your tech check for bad sectors on your laptop. Then if you continue getting reboots to do a system restore via the Bios on your laptop. (BIOS is a system area on your laptop that you can get to but I can't remember how exactly.) If you get lucky and your ports are open and running (USB, printer and modems.) then you should be good to go. If not, then save whatever documents you have and do a format and reinstall windows. Reinstalling windows was the only way I could get my computer back to normal.
I know I'm late, but I am so sorry to hear about your grandma, really I am. It's hard to watch someone you're very close to go through that. I watched two grandfathers go through hell with cancer, both said they only had a few months to live and one beat the odds, the other we're waiting for test results. But it was so hard for me to have to watch my dad's dad go through this because when my mom's dad had cancer I was right by his bed side trying to keep his spirts alive. With prayer and hope, my dad's dad beat the odds. We're hoping that the test results come back to our liking so that grand dad can go through remission. But I understand what you are going through. It's not the things we inherit from our loved ones, its the memories that matter most as memories last a life time, objects might not. In other words, if something was past down to you and it gets stolen or broken somehow, some way then you've lost whatever it is that you clung to. So spending time with your grandma is more important because Kerri it shows to her that you're becoming a mature adult, and that you are there for her to try and make her feel as comfortable as possible while she's going through such a rough time in her life with her health. Does this make some what sense? That no matter what you get from her will or whats passed on to you, that her memories that you've stored away in your mind is more important. It upsets me to hear my family (I wont say who) bitch and complain that once my grandparents are gone that they'll guard the house on the front porch with a shot gun as it tells me that all that they care about is whats inside the house, the objects that are of real money value like furniture, jewlery, glass figurines etc. And when you tell these people that memories are more important, they snap at you saying "Yeah well of course, duh. But it's once in a lifetime where you'll ever own a expensive piece of their past." Of course it's not said like that but it feels like thats what they're really saying to me, to my face. My grandparents are the most precious things to me, to my life besides my parents and my sister. Nothing, not even a expensive piece of jewlery, or figurine or what not will bring them back. It'll be a reminder yes. But like I said, memories are more value to me as a reminder of them.
Have a wonderful New Year and thanks for your comment about the IRiver. I get my demo tomorrow if Best Buy sells them. If not I'll be settling with a IPod but I know what IPods are accessible with the Rockbox program you were telling me about.
