Nebraska Vaping, Part 2

Ok Pitt, I have 34 automatic updates to install.....do I really want to install them all?

 

[PittBoss]

Don't know if I fixed it.

I had it running last Sunday. They used it Sunday and Monday. They supposedly didn't do anything to it, but I came down Wednesday and it was a black screen that said something like insert disk or choose a different boot location. I didn't have time to mess with it, so I just shut the power off to it. Thursday night I came down and tried booting it, it booted up and I clicked on the kids account....seemed to be working fine, then all of a sudden I got a blue screen that said something about errors and it was starting a physical memory dump.....ended up shutting it down, then everytime i tried to boot it, it just kept going to a black screen that said insert disk or choose different boot location.

This morning I came down and tried again....same thing.....shut it down, and unplugged it....10 minutes later I tried again.....it booted up fine....I hurried and clicked on the restore wizard and restored it back to last Sunday when I first hooked it up.....I don't know if one of the automatic updates caused a problem or if it was something else....guess I'll find out shortly if it keeps working

Keep me posted, but it sounds like either your HDD is going out or Windows boot config is faulty and needs a re-install

Today is probably the only day ever that I hope it snows like crazy....I'm supposed to take 4, 7 year old girls ice skating.....not looking forward to it....and I'm pretty sure i have a heal spur that has been hurting like hell for a couple weeks.....I'm sure ice skating will be great for it....

Lol, we are still being pressured into going regardless.. We will see what happens over the next few hours..

Probably.. might fix some stuff

Re-install windows. A full format and install would take care of that

 

[Jakersvape]

90% of the updates are the same....

 

[Jakersvape]

Re-install windows. A full format and install would take care of that

That's what I figured and that is where my problem is.....don't have a windows disk to reinstall it with

I'm sorry bud.....I'm sure because I want it to snow like crazy, it won't

Kernal updates?

What you running on that thing? Xp, 7..?

 

[PittBoss]

3-5 inches, give or take. Might not be too bad though.

 

[Jakersvape]

Kernal updates?

Security updates.....most say
A security issues has been identified that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to compromise your system and gain control over it. You can help protect your system by installing this update from Microsoft.

Good luck with that!

Don't know if anyone is looking for a label printer but this one is on sale for $20 with free shipping.....that's $50 cheaper than normal. I checked walmart and they have it for $78. It prints laminated labels so they would be great for making labels for your bottles....
