Resetting Settings
« on: September 22, 2009, 07:21:02 AM »
Ok techno geeks and computer pervs can you please help me understand  noooo:

Nothing too technical  - I am after all a gerl  lol: but simple things

Like why , when I haven't use my computer ( laptop ) for over a week,  do I turn it on this morning and all the settings are fecked.

The display properties, the layout of my desktop icons ( which are set up very particulalry to my liking ) etc . I logged off normally .

In Miss D's world of ...if no one ain't touched it then it should be exactly the same reality ....the time it has been left on it's own should have no impact on the bloody thing.

There hasn't been any upgrades of the system either ( if only  ::) )

No one has access to it while I am away ....It is locked in a special laptop locker of which only I have my key ( why all this security I will never know seeing as it is next to useless - bizarre ) . The best thing about this tho is that my locker noo is 007. Pleases me anyway  redface:

Technically speaking, I would surmise that your laptop is exhibiting the syptoms of being lonely and ignored after being imprisoned and deprived of care and attention.

A few hugs and kisses fix most of these problems.

That will probably make it very sticky - is that a good idea?

Have you tried "Restore"? You may be able to do that ~ after all you had enough rights to customise how it looked before. rubschin:



Pooters do change themselves slightly at every switch on ~ I know this is a fact but I know not why ~ which is one reason for the restore option being there.

Or at least that's what a reasonably friendly (I fed him cake and tea) geek once told me
