icey needs help....

[pastafreak]

she has accidently hit scroll-lock .....it is lit up-and can't undo it......
she's lost all the icons at the top of her screen plus clock

what can she do????

[rabbitygirl]

No still here icey... just.


Listen, you are not the only puter twit on here (puts hand aloft)....

fgs

I cant even find the printer instructions remember. And if the computer goes wrong I switch it off at the wall, say a prayer, then switch it back on!

[rabbitygirl]

That's not advice btw hun!

[Aprilis]

Tut tut! Certainly not Rabbs....that's proper last resort stuff that is!

If you are totally unable to log out properly and you really can't shut down in the normal manner, hold the on/off button down until it works. And it will eventually. Then wait at least 10 seconds before restarting the computer.

That is second from last resort. lol

Oh - hi again rabbity. I'm such a dork with these machines - but then again, I only need to use them for basic stuff, so when something goes wrong, I don't know what to do!!

Have you been on a computer course Aprilis?

[Ice.Maiden]

Mostly, if what I call something "major" goes wrong, I leave it up to someone else to remotely fix it for me!!!

My jalopy does freeze Aprilis and it's what I have done as a last resort and no ill effects. Just lucky I guess!

[Aprilis]

No Icey, mostly self taught. My sister is too and she knows more about networks than I do. If we don't have the answer and it all gets properly serious, our little brother is a Microsoft qualified techie. So between us all we can usually fix most probs. My brother is a whizz. He can do in minutes what might take me hours!

[Aprilis]

Rabbs, I could give you a number of tips to keep your computer running as efficiently as possible but it would take a looooong time! I've thought about writing a little tutorial to email to people but I've never got round to it. Well I did do it once and then lost it and have been too lazy to do it all over again.

[Ice.Maiden]

It says "forbidden" pink!!!! ????

Excellent Aprillis - I now know who to ask if I can't get hold of anyone at this end!!!! : )

People think I'm playing dumb when I tell them I can't fathom computers rabbity. I like them for emailing, and doing various work stuff but generally for amusement purposes. The ins and outs of them doesn't interest me. I remember sciving off IT lessons at school because it seemed preferable to go for a ciggie!! : )

[rabbitygirl]

I am getting a bit better with the pc icey and Aprilis. Considering doing a course actually.

One thing I can do well is touch type. Everyone should learn.....you're still not sure what you are doing but you can do it faster!

Nite Icey and Aprilis. xxxxx

[pinktwink]

night all xxx
