Came asking me to have a look at a request via an email for 'authorisation code' from aoHELL last night that she'd opened. Banghead
This morning, all kinds of error messages and such shite coming up now.
SECURE CONNECTION FAILED!
Ajax googleleaps.com443 uses an invalid security certificate
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired.
Won't be valid until 24/April/2013./ confused:
error code.....see error expired issuer certificate.
This could be a problem with the servers certification OR someone trying to impersonate the server. scared2:
If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and yo can try again later.
then it's got some random crap about 'view certifivcate, fingerprrints and validty/expiry.
What IS all this shite?
We an't gain access to our aoHELL emails anymore, and of course, it's ALL my fault...naturally.
My 'I.T. geeky man' is coming out to have a sniff later, but he said he doesn't like the sound of it. scared2:

My neighbour's wife died a year ago....
He asked me if I believed in the afterlife last week to which I replied "no"...
He continued undaunted to tell me that one of the ways the spirits can stay in touch is to gubb up electrical equipment...
He said that in the year since his wife had died she had gubbed-up three computers, his washing machine, the cooker and a microwave oven...
You don't think Snoopy....? rubschin:

Maybe he's just incompetent without his wife.

Got Malware.
Wouldn't let me do it yesterday morning. Asking me for passwerds. Shrugs:
After it had seemingly fixed itself during the day, it allowed me to do a FULL and monster sweep last night on disc drives A B C and D ....i think.
Took 3.5 hours, swept 300,000 files and found absolutley nowt. eeek:
Turned this thing on this morning anyway, fully expecting it to have re-goosed itself overnight again, but no, it's just fine. rubschin:
Most weird the way it was changing the date back to November 2003.
Hate it.
Too moody petulant changeable and unreliable.
Woz'at remind you of ey? whistle:

Buy a boy computer next time :thumbsup:

This gubberation continues. However, I've sort of discovered what's up with it, and most pleasingly, I can fix it, but it has to be fixed every day which is what's cinfuzzling me. rubschin:
I turn the power off to this thing every night, which I've always done.
Flick it back on in the morniing, and the date in the bottom rh corner has always now reset itself to a date back in November 2003....possibly the date this thing was made?
If I don't reset it, the trouble as mentioned initially on this thread, kicks in, and will continue to play up (no access to emails, strange messages etc,) until I both reset the date and switch off and back on again.
Once that's done, evrything runs tickety boo.
Shrugs:
No response from Nick required thank you. whistle:

The main box thingy wotsit, with all its associated gubbins is powerd by mains witch craftery.
If I leave this thing switched on after midnight, it doesn't seem to be resetting itself back to Nov. 2003.
All most mysterious. confused:

How to Replace the BIOS Battery (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkBWZOtp2is#)

Banghead

Furry oaf.... noooo:

Tis battery as BM said. Supplies power so that unit remembers its setiings, date/time, etc. These days they normally outlast the use of the PC. Usually a round device like an over-size watch battery but can vary.
In the early days they were soldered in! Try changing one of those without frying things. cloud9:

The 'puter is actually over ten years old now though in fairness.
My 'man'...who I now feel should have recognised this fault.....is amazed at its longevity, but sez I'll have to replace it within the next few years, as Windows won't be supporting XP after April 2014 thus leaving this thing open for attack. scared2:
It's memory thingy wotsit inside, isn't big enough to support this new fangled Windows 8 apparently. sad32:

1) Unplug it first
2) Have the vacuum cleaner ready - it will be full of dust and shite. Suck it all out and pay particular attention to the fans.
3) Ideally have it on a tiled floor - not a carpet.
4) When you remove the battery, 'earth' yourself by touching the metal case of the 'puter... Avoids static lecky damaging the parts
5) Try not to get your greasy paws all over the new battery when you put it back
6) While you are there, you may as well give the video spring a wind - it will prolly need it after ten years
7) Lastly, as tel says - if the owld battery is soldered-in you are fecked. Fingers crossed.

Is that technical digi sick2: i.t. jargon for some sort of cooling device? rubschin:

If you know your model number then you can usually get dismantling instructions via Google
But
I gave up at 1.30 am last night on my laptop. All it needs is a knackered fan replacing bt feck moi every step takes bleeding ages and now I have to get the motherboard out and there's got to be one more hidden scrw
More practically for Growler
Windows XP will live on long after 2014 and don't touch Windows 8 until they sort out how they want it to look. Windows 7 is fine, almost good in fact and you can get PCs really cheap these days.

When you open her up, suck all the shite out and find the video card - the one your monitor plugs into.
On the side you'll see a big key - give it a few turns clockwise to keep it going.... Don't over-tighten it tho or it could get 'over-clocked' and too fast for your monitor.

I like XP. It's relatively simple and trouble free., which is more than can be said about the latest version whatever it's called.
My i.t. 'man' was putting the willies up me (not literally) regarding 8, saying that after April of next year Windows Xp won't be updated anymore, meaning bugs will be able to get in to gubberise things possibly.
I dunno, all alien to me. Shrugs:
