Need computer help?

[Karen]

You mean the cup holder that pops out?

Yes, it's a newer machine, I'll just buy the OS disc? I just need to know which one!!! I can muddle thru the installation, I just need to know what to get!!

Did the machine not come with any discs?

No, I bought it on sale, just a real basic model.....for photos, music and emails.

And when buying new, you have to pay for a boot disk these days. It's not standard anymore. I pay for one when I get a new computer.

Have you asked Candace to help? That's what she does for a living. It's a shame CDO doesn't have other outlets. Computer Direct Outlet is this awesome establishment in Greenville that will repair your computer or help you repair you own computer. you just have to buy the parts.

Can you take it back? Call the company?

Hi RICHARD.

I had two messages on FB saying you needed computer help. I had already seen your post but had not ideas.

Unless you have a laptop...

If you do, try this.

1. Unplug the sucker.

2. Remove the battery.

3. With the battery out and power disconnected, press down on the power button for 30 full seconds.

4. Put battery back in, plug in power, and restart. Let me know what happens.

You can hold F8 while booting up to start Windows in Safe Mode. Once there, run a boot time scan, run your antivirus software (or download Avast Antivirus if you need antivirus software). Also, Lenovo's customer service has been pretty helpful to me when I had frustrations with my laptop.

Pay for my ticket and I'll fly down and fix it!

I could travel up the Blue Ridge, but not right now. I'm still waiting on my retirement to come in. Of course, it also depends on what part of Kentucky Richard lives. Still it might be nice to actually see my birth state. Such is the life of a military brat.

And one of those messages to Candace was from me.


Richard, how are you getting online? You other computer? No, it's not a dumb question.

I have heard that does not work with Windows 8, just with prior versions. Have you had that work with 8?

And Anne, he's probably using his phone to post right now.

I have a smart phone and I have difficulty with this forum. No app for this forum or SMART page? My hat's off to anyone that posts on a website with their smart phone.

Before I say anything else?

What is a PET TALKER?

A pet talker will read a post, send the message out over the internet and get EVERYONE involved with helping out?

Hokay....Let me read thru your help and let you know what I have done to try to get things fixed. I need to walk the dog first.

Priorities?
