Each time I try to access Elizabeth Priddy's new site my computer shuts down
completely. When the computer re-opens itself I'm told that I have a
problem that should be reported. The report tells me that I have a "device
driver" problem. Is this happening to anyone else? Thanks, Gay

I am getting to Elizabeth Priddy's site just fine.
Pictures all show up well - and quite quickly enough!
(I'm on a T-1 here.)
Things are all A-OK by me.

Gary --
What if the problem is with a software driver, instead of a hardware
driver? I find with XP most of my driver problems are software, and
I've never been able to figure out where to track them down. (I do,
however, send the error reports to MS. I get a real kick out of
messages that tell MS that MS software is incompatible with MS
operating systems and causes failures. Pretty childish of me, eh?)

Yor have a driver problem. If you have a Windows computer go to start,
move cursor up to settings, then click on control panel. When the
control panel conmed up click on system. Then click on the tab at the
top called device manager. One by one open the device tabs in the fold
by clicking on the plus signs. When opened if any one of these has a
explanation sign (!) in yellow then that is you problem driver . If
you are not experienced in working with Windows problems get some help
from a friend, or get a professional because I am and even I have a LOT
of trouble fixing these kinds of problems. Good luck.

No I think it's kind of funny myself. I have 98 and haven't had the
funds to buy XP that is if I really wanted it. But if it's a software
driver a suggestion might be if you can determine which software it is.
Then reinstall the software. You might try doing first a scan disk of
your hard drive sometimes that will fix problems especially if you have
shut down the computer with out going thru the normal shut down
proceedure. I did this yesterday and it has helped greatly on ths
machine. I don't know idf XP uses scandisk. It is located in 98 in the
start / programs/accessaries/systemtools folder. brefore you do the
scandisk you might want to do a disk clean up first. It is in the same
folder. Let me know if this helps. GH

Drivers ARE software, Steve! A driver is a program that creates an
interface between a peripheral device (hardware) and the operating system.

That is what Gary's message was intending to do--going to Settings/ Control
Panel/ System/ Device Manager/ and then looking for exclamation points (!)
highlighted by yellow.
But then it gets less than clear about how to proceed--at least for
me! Sometimes clicking Remove for the highlighted device and then
rebooting will do it. Windows will "see" the "new" hardware (since the
'remove' tells it it's no longer there) and then want you to choose or
supply a driver for it. Sometimes Windows *has* one, but even if it does,
you may need to supply the one that came with the device (on a floppy or
CD-ROM), and supply it in a different manner altogether.
Frankly, all this kinda crap is what caused me recently to just buy a new
Dell computer--whereas in the past I've built (OK--assembled, really) my
own computers. The physical assembly is very easy (and fun for a guy who's
lost track of his childhood Erector set), but hardware-software
incompatibleness is getting... well, my "Using Windows XP" book I just
bought tops 1000 pages! 'Nuff said.

I'll assume that's a rhetorical question! :-)

I realize that the Mac is a very good computer. It has its merits and
admit it has a excellent OS. but even they have repair shops. They all
break down! All computers have their quirks. I used to own a Mac
years ago so I can say they all have their problems. I am glad you have
a mac they are a fine computer but I'll keep my PC. But the problems
that we are having is not the computer. It's MS crappy OS, Windows.
Thanks GH

there are times like this when I think that we Mac users might want to
maintain our smaller numbers. if we were as numerous as the ubiquitous
windows, we might actually be a viable target for the malicious nuts
out
there. I like knowing that when I am running a glaze calc program (note
the reference to clay) that the computer will work.
Millie in Md. warm day today...up to 32 degrees.
