I think it's working now. I didn't even turn it on yesterday, for fear of getting all pissed off again. I bought a new laptop, Dell 17" that still has Windows 7. Everyone said to stay away from 8. I use Outlook Express for email, Microsoft no longer supports that, so I have Windows Live Mail on the new one. It wouldn't send and recieve after one use. There is an error code that comes up when it tried to connect. I spent 2 and a half hours on the phone the first day with an Indian woman. She took control of the computer and messed it up so bad, she had me do a complete system restore, which meant all the stuff I had in it was gone. That worked one time. Next day, a little over and hour with Achmed. He finally figured out the error code was directly from Microsoft. The ports for email had the wrong numbers installed. I'll turn it on later today and see if it works. I bought an external hard drive yesterday to transfer my files, but I have no idea how to do that. I'll try to figure it out in a day or so. I'm pretty short on patience with this modern stuff. Then I'm going to try and get a printer hooked up so I don't have to forward everything to Kathy to get it printed. That should be fun.
