I Love Windows

[Guest Frank Parmelee]

I have never known what it is to have a boring day - ever. one day things

work fine, the next who knows waht happened. For example, the two USB ports

on the front of the case worked fine and tehn one day they didn't. A little

patience and dilegence goes a long way in troubleshooting. In Device Manager

I discovered that the ports in question had no drivers installed. Ok, so

push the Update Driver button and al is good again.

 

The question is how can USB ports work one day and not the next?

Hi Frank,,,

 

I wish I could answer your query for you, but I can't. The only thing that

comes to mind is: *%it happens...

 

When you consider the thousands and thousands of lines of code the computer

must read and execute every time you boot the machine, it's amazing that

they work as well as they do. I,ve also had drivers or something of that

ilk suddenly become corrupted, but it's happened here too.

Given all the variables - hardware, software, user - the real question is

"Why does any of this work at all"?

Amen to that thought. I'm so used to things just working, I kind of take

thngs for granted.

As a mate of mine used to say:"I don't want to know how it works; I just want

it to work."

Re: I Love Windows

 

I completely understand your mate's attitude. I've wished I could settle

for that, but I'm one of those "unfortunate's" that need to know HOW things

work; and boy, can that get me in trouble sometimes!

Re: I Love Windows

 

Amen, Curt I'm of the same opinion and also like to know the "hows" and

occasionally get in too deep.

 

I am happy I was able to ferret out the problem and fix it this time, for

that I am thankful.

 

Make a Great Day,
