A tale of woe!!!! (and a dodgy laptop)

[JoM]

Hope you have better luck with this new one Lissie, what a nightmare!

Lissie, if you are talking about Windows 10 you have my deepest sympathy.

I suspect that your "new" laptop was a model sat on the shelf for some time with an earlier version of W10 installed. As soon as you connected to the Internet it spoke to Microsoft and between them they decided to "update" you to the latest and very considerable revamp of W10. So on it goes for hours and hours and then nothing works.

My laptop is getting on for seven years old and when it did it to me it took till the end of time, and then some, to get it working again.

Fingers crossed that your new working version stays that way.

Your absence of posts was mentioned at the meet and Kaz had a look and noticed you had been into VV and not posted so we presumed you were still safely on your perch.

I did email you just after the meet Lissie, to the address you registered to VV Of course you were missed! Sorry to hear about your issues and very glad to have you back

Thanks everyone xxx
You have got it in one Frank!! It happened just as you described.
I even took the first one back to Factory Settings but it still wasn't right.
This one seems ok so far.
Hope you get on ok without too much pain and take care xxx

Don't you just love it when Windows decides to update without asking?
