Lively Case Discussion #600 4/13 - 4/15/2007

[IBE]

Hi All!

Patti... no we haven't found the money at $15 each for the girls. It's hard for their family.

I am not feeling well, so might "hire" one of them to carry out my trash bags and that will help get the money by Thurs. night.

Anna, spray the Lysol into the vents too... you might fog the camera  except then you are getting the lysol smell from the vents.

I used to spray all the motel rooms and hotel rooms when I had to go on location. With one series we went to Tuscon very summer! "How the West Was Won" series. They'd give me the same Hilton hotel room each time. It was nice (had a large desk) in case I had to have school there, I guess. I'd change everything in the room... Sears loved me... new blankets, throw pillows, new stuff. Then I'd bring it back the next year. We were there for a few months.

Would only let the cleaning staff in every few days... new sheets hurt! I'd stand in the bath tub fulling dressed. Was so dirty from all the desert dust... used soap on the clothes then on me... The tub drain was soooo slow. Then I'd been standing in about 3 inches of brown water... from all the working grim. Nothing was ever glamorous.

It came with your new computer?

 yep..
 I wanna kick some geek squad butt at Best Byt.. I paid extra for this all to be installed.  
   You are right.. its not recognizing I have a PC?  Pffft

Angie dear, Vista is a new OS, it apparently works differently than your old OS. It would appear that you need to get some training/learning on how to use your new OS.

 

Yah think?  ROFL   I know Carnut.. its just really annoying.  Vista really is alot different then Xp or other versions. and It really does suck..!!  

I'm sure it's different, but I'll bet once you get it figured out you'll find that
it was designed to make everything 'easier' than it used to be.

You are probably trying to do things your old way and the new VISTA probably has a new 'easier' way of doing it, once you figure it out.

Hopefully you have the printer cabled to the PC.

I'm would imagine that if you turn off the printer your PC will beep to let you know it is aware that the printer is turned off and if you turn the printer on the PC will beep again to let you know if found your printer.

If that happens you will know that the printer is talking to your PC.

Then its just a matter of figuring out how VISTA expects to be told to do what you want it to do.

Klaas..
  I tryed to lad what you posted and it says I am all up to date?  TY though.
 Guess I may have to call the GEEK SQUAD to ask why if I scan a photo it just ownt go right to my pc.
  On the little screen on the printer it says
 Welcome to Photosmart express
you can insert a memory card to print photos with mo computer.




CARNUT  Have you worked with this new windows yet??

Hi Carnut - have you worked with Vista yet?  Sounds like there are alot of "little" things causing people problems.  Downloads/fixes for peripherals and software programs.

Yes Vista has some problems with being backwards compatible with many things. Microsoft always does that, kind of a planned obsolecence thing to sell more new stuff.

It would appear though if Angie bought the whole package together that everything will be compatible, especially if the Best Buy Geeks had made sure is was all working right to begin with.

Kinda why I suspicion it's an operator thing more than a hardware/fix thing.

CARNUT  Have you worked with this new windows yet??

No, I haven't worked with Vista yet, and I will avoid it as long as humanly possible, just  because I don't like change.

I would still think that Vista probably works better than you think at least at regular PC things.

  LOL  Could be me?  But I got the book out for it.. and ..it dont work.
 Oh well.. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhh.. I'll call Best Buy... maybe one of the Geek dipshits can walk me through it.

Then its just a matter of figuring out how VISTA expects to be told to do what you want it to do.

I had to have a computer guy out recently.  He asked if I had Vista and I told him I had heard about all the bugs and planned to stick with XP until everything was worked out.  He said it is not a matter of bugs, but that Vista is more complicated than XP.  What can be done in one simple step with XP takes 4 steps with Vista. He gave me some examples that I don't remember.

He said with the full understanding of computers that he has and the difficulties he has encountered, he can understand the frustrations of the average computer user using Vista.

 Nope its not easier.. it sucks. I have talked to others that have it.. and dont like it either and have the same torubles I do. My daughter and her hubby even puchased a new PC right before I got mine. They have VISTA and I called her earlier and she said she hates it and is stil trying to figure it out too. I did manage to figure out when I save a photo.. where it goes.. to save in my photobucket recently That was a start..lol
   Like I said..  I need to call Best Buy where I bought it and talk to one of the PC  geeks.      Ty Carnut!!

Most geeks will say that.

Actually all GUI operating systems make things that a geek can do, harder to do.

I am a computer wizard at the command line and a GUI just gets in my way.

Still I'm sure that once folks get used to Vista it will be just as easy if not easier than XP at doing most things.

  Oh boy.. and I am really PC stupid. I wish I could get rid of Vists and load XP on here.      it is very frutrating.. and I dont get why microsoft releases a new version of Windows when bugs arnt tweaked out yet? Talk about  putting the cart before the horse.  Bill Gates sucks.

Heh, heh, happens with every new OS, I still have many memories of helping folks load Win98SE onto machines that folks bought with XP Loaded and how they just couldn't use it, so wanted the Win98SE installed so they could use it.
