Heh, usually we put bows on our faces. We all started laughing
at the idea of putting them elsewhere. That's what happened.

I get a screen that says 'insert the Bios diskette' that I don't have since I bought the puter secondhand...Can't get past that, no matter what...LOL...

....Westy....

[phantomworker]

Thanks for everything, Mo! Hope you are having a Merry Christmas Day!

[phantomworker]

Is it Windows or a Mac?

[westmex]

Windows 98

.....Westy....

He says you might be in a bit of trouble.

He says make sure there are no disks in the disk drives when you start it up.

(You know Costco at Southcenter fixes computers now. They are always very reputable, if you need it).

[EsmeraldaA]

Ohh he will still be laughing after showing
here this (very nice) side of him....

Heehehe hehe

[Darkchylde]

Well, it IS Christmas... I figured it was
a good (well, maybe not) time to post it.

[phantomworker]

We might have Windows 98 software somewhere for a start-up disk. Have you called any of the repair shops? Maybe just upgrading and installing a newer version of Windows might help?

My son said, sorry, if it is a Bios problem, he probably can't help. (He is a software guy, and this is a computer chip.)

Well, it was worth a try...

[westmex]

The diskette drive is an plug in add on device..Hasn't been attached in ages....

.....Westy....

[phantomworker]

Then maybe you need to attach the diskette drive and try reinstalling the operating system software (Windows) or a boot disk which is supposed to come with the computer. I had to do that once. If someone has the same computer model as yours, maybe their boot up disk will work. I have at least 8 computers hanging around. At least one Windows 98.

And you tried F1? or all the function keys usually on the top row? I have to use F1 to reconfigure and reboot sometimes.

I would call Costco tomorrow or some other repair shops.

Let me know if I can help you.

[westmex]

Thanks for all your efforts...I miss the pixs and the favorites..Been trying to get back to a Swede gals site on circumnavigating the USA by kayak, inline skates and bicycle, but haven't been able to...Oh well, will limp along on this puter...

....Westy.....

[Darkchylde]

Nah, more like cringing. But I'm sure he'll get over it. ;-)

[Darksheare]

*sigh*

[Cardhu]

First one with a current Christmas picture - neena neena.

Of course I have a six hour plus start on you guys.

No turkey here but leg of pork is good too.

[Darksheare]

Rub it in why doncha?!
;-)
*chuckle*

Looks pretty good.

[Cardhu]

What's the dish with the olives?

That is Salpicón de Marisco - peeled shrimps and other stuff that I can´t name, but it is really delicious as an appetiser.

[Canadian Outrage]

Merry Christmas to all my Freeper Friends!!!!!!! It's a busy day here today as I get to cook Christmas Dinner at my daughter and family's place.

Personally, I'll be glad when it's all over and I can RELAX!! It's fun but it's exhausting. CO

[catpuppy]

All the meals you show look wonderful and make me hungry. I think I'll go attack that smoked turkey that's hiding in the fridge.

[null and void]

I'm always amused (bemused?) when people celebrate the life of a Jew with pork...
