Life, Work, The Universe...... The Laptop Strikes Back

.
Thanks to Ronnie, neighbour, top IT guru and genuinely all round good guy, my laptop has been returned to full functionality and normality has been restored. That is, as soon as we are sure what is normal anyway.

My sage advice amigos is, after you fix the hardware, don't change your Admin password in Windows Vista when you are under the influence of medication or alcohol, or in my case, BOTH!

Cheers
Mark

  2. Don't use windows? You sir, offend me! :P

    You know what was left out of those PC Vs. Mac Commercials? The fact that MAC can't play any games....or half the programs available for Windows. Even more laughable is those who say that Linux is better. Linux is a joke.

    Although, sir Mark, I'm sorry to hear you have to put up with Vista...if you had the money to, I'd recommend Windows 7. XP was good, Vista just looked good, but was temperamental but this OS... 7 is like if XP and Vista had a love child and it got Vista's good looks, but XP's intelligence.

  4. Don't worry next laptop will be a Mac. In this case the issue was not down to the OS but rather the User. I hold my hand up. And yes, I had created a password recovery disk, which is currently a base for some Sci Fi terrain...

    Endeth of lesson.

  6. Windows 7 looked like good stuff but ultimately it didn't hold up to its promises. Back to Linux and XP.
