Living abroad tips and hints for money savers

Honestly, anyone would think you were a bunch of teenagers, the way your minds work! :rotfl:

It's not even as if HIS NETBOOK is pink! If I get one, it's going to be pink!

Thanks, d-g.

The screen is fine. What happens is that it boots up, verifies Drive C: (making loads of so-called corrections of cross-referenced files), goes to the sign-in screen (it's XP) and then crashes to the dreaded blue screen that says, "I'm dead."

Actually, it says, "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA" - or something similar, indicating, I think, that data is corrupt on the hard drive. I have tried using the recovery CD-ROM I made when it was new, but no joy.

Spent over an hour on the phone with son (an IT pro) but got nowhere. I'll be taking it over for his attention next week.

Meanwhile, I've ordered a new lappy and a network external drive. (Yes, it does seem a bolted horse situation, but I was going to order the external drive for collection in the UK next week anyway, but the lappy didn't last out).

Fortunately, I've been saving my teaching pocket money for such a situation, and the drive is being paid for by survey and gift money in my Amazon account.

Am now using an old lappy belonging to DW (a Dell with a dicky screen, but very good otherwise).

And you are a smutty lot on here. I'm shocked, carrots!! I don't think I should associate with so many loose women!

I would have thought it would not be so much as amazement, as disappointment at something so small
