I wish I was not techy type right now. When I got this lil gismo (BB8300) I saw another spoke for my life-wheel. But when I installed DM to my PC it deleted about 10 quicklaunch icons from my system tray. Woo Hoo one new spoke and 10 busted ones. ARRRRRGH I can only remember one of the proggies I used from there. Now I just sit and stare at the toolbar wondering what to do.
There are only 3 (three) types of people in the world.
1. Those who make things happen.
2. Those who watch things happen
3. And people like me that wonder what the **** just happened.
To make matters worse, the original owners email setup is still in this BB and I can't figg how to delete them. I thought DM would take care of the small things. I'm almost wishing I had not ordered the new t-ball for it. It's made a mess of things and I can't even use it.
I don't have a backup image for this PC and now I fear it is dinked.
I am tempted to try and upgrade the lil gismo from .110 to .187 and see if that clears the ghosts from it but until the new t-ball arrives I can only sit and stare at it.
maybe I can trade this stupid gismo for a surf-fishing pole
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!05-12-10 08:50 AM - I tried therapy............but it bothered me.Dude, have you ever been in therapy?
New t-ball shud be here tomorrow
last ups update was departure scan in jacksonville fl last week
WARNING! DO NOT PLAY WITH YOUR T-BALLS
I can only turn it on and off now
I'm blaming the neighbor......he broke it first.
WHY does the DM installation delete most of the quick launch icons from the system tray? HUH RIM? WHY? WHY? WHY?05-16-10 09:16 AM - But i'm an admin/techy and prefer NOT to backup. Rebuilding is more fun.
besides, wondering what i lose by restoring is yes another reason
I HATE CONFUSERS
PS: It's an inherited portable running XP Home 2002 w/sp3 (actually crashes less often than my home PC)
An admin would have known to look in the event log and see when and why the quicklaunch buttons dissapeared. DM wouldn't have done it. Calm down on the red bull, do a little research and you would have saved yourself alot of ranting.
Admins/techys prefer to back up so we dont have to go through a bunch of nonsense when a crash happens. Geek squad pc tech troopers are the only types that would say they dont backup because they wish to rebuild. You would rather rebuild a DC, AD forest, exchange environment etc just because you didnt want to back it up? No you wouldn't.Last edited by saukrateaz; 05-18-10 at 12:51 PM.

they spend so much time "in the program" it becomes FIRST nature. And it is still totally foreign to the rest of us.
That is why I say "they" spelled it wrong. NOT computers but confusers.
I totally understand the hardware, off/on, yes/no, do,don't, 0/1 so simple.

Still had active viruses this morning even after yesterdays update.
(don't click on adds for free stuff)
just launching the ad starts the infection process
then it just keeps downloading more spywares and trojans
Spysweeper & NAV corp just can't keep up, I'm probably still infected.
