Re: Computer Help Needed

A third thing, should you not have any other luck - rollback to an earlier restore point.

Re: Computer Help Needed

A couple things to try (these aren't sequential):

1) Reboot, and try to install the new version over the current remnants.

2) Make sure the user account you're using has Admin privileges. (Under "User accounts," I believe.)

Goodness, I'm sorry to hear about AD's bank woes and Mile's travel troubles!! Hope things end up working out for both of you!

Re: Tattoos...

I must admit, I've thought about getting a tattoo. Something small and in a place that I could show someone if I wanted to, like my hip.... On the other hand, I don't think I want one as it will look really bad when I'm 80. Course that could be something fun to explain to the nurses in the nursing ...

Re: LTE 2.0

it is an absolutely perfect morning out here today. Cloudless sky, just a tinge of spring chill in the air but forecast to get up to the low 70's. Ahhh, finally. Of course, I suspect you folks back in NC have been mornings like this since February, but I'll take 'em when I can get 'em. Too bad I hav...

Re: Advice for buying airline tickets...

I usually go to Kayak or Farecast to find the cheapest flight & schedule, then go to the airline's web page for the actual purchase. You usually save an additional $5-10 per ticket by buying directly. Oh, and if you're searching for DC airports, use the airport code "WAS" - it searches against DCA, ...

Man, it's been a lovely weekend out here. I know I didn't get to enjoy Duke, reunions, spring game or Brunchgate, but on Sat., I did get to go diving on a sunny day - spent 88 minutes underwater at a depth of 60-90 feet; and got my hair cut & styled. Today, I cleaned the house this morning (and got ...

Re: Ode to Server

Sales tax out here is 9.2%, so I usually double & round up for most service. If service was just okay , I'll round down a bit. WD, my hubby was a waiter & bartender for years, so he insists paying on good tips, but he is actually more particular about what constitutes what good service. Do you find ...

Re: Which One?

I used to have a Swatch watch with a paisley face. No numbers, no tick marks, just paisleys. No one else could ever tell time from it at first glance. You had to be careful not to put it on upside down.
