Mornin'! Shaping up to be a gorgeous day out there!
I slept in...missed the first service. Heading out in about fifteen minutes, and I'll be back around eleven thirty.
It's really weird. First PCI slot I tried, the computer wouldn't post. On the second one, the computer would post but the mouse pointer wouldn't move. So I took the card out,booted up the computer, put the card in and the whole system froze. So I powered down, put the card in a third slot and the computer came on! Everything worked fine so I left the card there.
So now I have to put the router in...what the heck, let's just start from scratch. (The idea is to turn on the cable modem, then the router, then the computer) When I plug the network cable into the card, the computer comes on. Computer works fine, internet connection is set up, computer powers down okay, but silly me can't leave well enough alone. :) I pull the power on the router and the computer starts up again. Go figure.
Have fun!

Tiff came back last night... so Mae's at home... we slept in, ours havent even had breakfast yet. I'm hiding in here having a little more coffee before I go out there...
Mine have been up since early, and they're all driving me nuts. Tam won't shut up, which has Cisco all riled up, and Halvah's eating my flowers in spite of the fact that she has a perfectly good pot of cat grass.
*sigh*
Did they have a weekend to remember? ;-)
Off to get churched up...
Ramius, I have three letters for you: UPC ...
Since they ditched the conference, you should get a weekend of free farm-sitting if you need it at some point, I think.
I'm still tickled about them walking out. Was it really that bad?
Good morning Rose!
I just plugged in the monitor to the laptop and hit fn+f7, but all the monitor is still only showing a small strip of screen on the far left side.
My sister hasn't called me back yet, but I'm pretty sure she has a spare monitor somewhere. *fingers crossed*
Say... you're right. If the monitor is messed up, it'll still be messed up when plugged into laptop. Didn't think of that.
Did you toggle f7 until the laptop screen went dark? It may need to, incase the laptop video can't drive both at once. The toggle is a three-way, that is: laptop only, external only, and both.
My computer ~always~ comes on when you plug in, or even move, the power cord... always has. It's a pain when you're moving computers and don't want it on yet, but it's always been this way.
And (I should have asked this before) do you have a flat panel screen?
I've got my old 19 inch here you can have ;~D
Heh... how's the job going anyway? Still enjoying it?
Heh.
Maybe I should wave some turkey feathers over it.
Yes, it is showing part of the same screen the laptop is displaying.
And no, it isn't a flat panel. I'll get one of those after I move. My job may be sending my flat panel up to me though, so I wouldn't need to buy one then. :-)
