before we're through I will dispell despair...

I must write one more...

I was not looking to resuscitate THIS thread but only to commemorate the 10,000 viewings.

But still...I'm amazed you went as far as you did, Migs73...I myself had to go through it one time and...

I use this opportunity to show newbies how thing persist. When I have encouraged you to put an informative title to your post, it is because you may want to look back for that answer and if it is in...

This is the first I've noticed about "skins". What ARE they?

I was at a place where I was offered three choices:
Forum default

This was where I saw it, under Edit...

VERY good! Thanks.

I wish someone would state this one time clearly. At least it's still not clear to me...

Is 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS?

Is 10.10 LTS?

I thought every three years there is a new release that,...

To those of you who have followed this thread, I'll give you an update; and a very interesting one at that.

Today, Jim Kyle gave me that seasoned advise, "If it ain't broke, don't mess with it."...

So, I find that I'm really looking for permission to take my one good hard drive out of the machine I'm on right not and to try it in that other Dell, just to prove that the problem IS the hard...

"I've messed up hard drives before but never just got a black screen except for the "No Sync".

I said that in my last post...but maybe I did. It's been awhile...

Really I'm thinking that...

Oh, what a great gadget! And then I take it, if the drive is no good, it shows that and it can be thrown away. Right?

Let me ask you, Jim. After removing stuff yesterday, and I can even tell...

I totally agree with bioterror.

p4man is giving good advise too, otherwise you can ruin your hard drive (hey, just ask me...lol)

And zhogan, you can read and SEE if it the same problem, but...

Hi all,

Where to begin.

One: Now I see that me messing up my main computer was due to the problems audiomick has now told me about. It was because it was going so slow last night that I...

I'm glad I didn't know that the problem was the server and not my computer... or I wouldn't have gone on to discover so much.

So, that computer, Bob's old and so dirty one, if you'll remember, I...

We'll see if this goes through...it's not really working right. Last message it too 7 minutes but then failed...so if you don't hear from me you'll know why.

Ah, but now I find that when I install that it won't take...all I get is No boot device found.

Dear audiomick (and anyone else who cares...)

Actually, it's acting funny in other ways too; lots of coruscation on the screen too.

But hi to you too....

Hi

Here I am back on that Celeron that was the subject of "How do I ditch the Orange?"

A guy, Walt, sent me that extra RAM, but still the Lucid wouldn't run. Well, I went and installed the...

Ah, thank you...that's just what I needed!

Here I am at my friend's house with his new OS.

Now he needs an on-screen keyboard. How do I get that?

Thanks.

Now what can I tell ya'??!!

I installed Jaunty today -- I began the install at 3:30 P.M. and here it is, midnight and it hasn't blacked out on me at all. That's eight and a half hours where...

I have messed around with this "power saving mode" for three or four days now...
