Fixing laptops and websites
Over the last couple of days I’ve been installing Windows XP Home Edition on a friends laptop and it’s been pretty blooming difficult! First off I couldn’t find my disk so after two days, a lot of hard work and dedication from a guy at university I know only as Skyhigh(department forum user name), I finally have a CD I can start installing from. Smooth sailing from here? Nope.
As seems to be the norm when it comes to me and operating systems of late, the fresh install managed to break itself. Explorer broke every time a message bubble came up from the task bar. This is a huge problem on an unactivated install of windows as it reminds you to activate as soon as you login with a helpful message bubble. Grr. So I re-installed and it wouldn’t activate! Arrrggghhh. So now I have an un-activatable windows and the only way to do it is to ring. I’ve just tried to install again over the top of the current installation using the upgrade option(why it gave me the option to upgrade from XP home to XP home is beyond me) and it’s not asking me to activate anymore. Hmmm, further investigation tomorrow will be necessary!
I’ve been working on my website today and can now edit and delete articles and comments from inside the site, which is good news. Now if those spam bots get me again I can get rid of them without having to go into the database.
Moving away from computers(thinking of you Steve) I’ve had The Great Big British Quiz on in the background whilst working on my computer and the puzzle is annoying me big time. Any ideas as to the answer?

SIXTY FIVE - 2 +
TWO + 20 +
46 = ?Some people have tried adding only the word together, only the number, all of them, I don’t get it! One guy came up with 1098? I mean, wow!
I really can’t be bother to stay up for the answer so goodnight everyone ![]()
