O.T. Dell 8200 cannot power up

So I guess the DVD is functional and I installed
it correctly.

Many thanks for all your good help,
Robert

I hope you took care of your data files
first, like your bookmarks.

You are a saint, helping this guy for the past 3 months!

Bah, and indeed, Humbug

'This Guy' totally agrees; not only
did Paul help but stayed with me
through the entire process with
instructions to resolve the various
problems I've been having and went
a step further by providing excellent
links and took his time to explain
things so that I could understand
better and didn't just pass over them.

As far as I'm concerned Paul is tops!

Again, many thanks Paul,
Robert

I do what I can, which isn't much.

You're too modest, You do much more than
that and your technical knowledge is
immense !@! I learn something new every
time we 'talk' and the links are excellent.

Lets hope there are no more problems,...

So far, everything is as smooth as silk.
I think re-setting those boleen files
certainly helped. Anyway, all is good.

I'll make new Mrimg files on 2-1 and
then 3-1 and so on.

Thanks again,
Robert

Not really a problem but I thought you might be
interested in an update:

When I logged on both computers today; the 8200 had
a Malicious software removal tool update (KB890830)

and the 8500 had (24) updates, yet I had to look for them
because the Action Center showed everything was normal
and the strange part is that it says on the update screen
that it checked for updates at 8:31 AM !? How weird is that?

Update and installed all updates except NVidia
which I tried (3) times.

I think it can check for updates more than once
a day. As far as the polling interval goes.

Some changes to Windows Update on Windows 7 have broken
the notification function of Windows Update. So you
may not see a notification if something is available.

Extended support for WinXP is finished, and receiving
an MRST update is about all you could expect there.
Things like MSRT and Windows Defender may last longer
than the end of Extended support, but not by much.
They should eventually stop.

Regarding your other post about an NVidia update for
the 8500, you had some problem in the past with
one of the sub-packages in there refusing to install.
So perhaps it's the same one again. If you're not
playing 3D games, then those updates may not buy
you a whole lot.

Paul

Your correct about the NVidia
installation problems in the
past. For some reason it just
doesn't seem to want to install
but as you point out I probably
don't even need it.

I have updates set to install
after I review them but I think
I'll start checking from now on.

Well you won't believe this but
while pruning a little today I
nicked a wire. I didn't think I
cut anything but now my phone
is dead...... sigh

I'll go out tomorrow and check
it but it looks like I'll have
to get Verizon back out here.

I suppose I could manage to do that here.

My telephone wire passes through the branches
of a cherry tree. And I have to trim around it
each year, to prevent the wire and tree
from slapping one another. So far, I haven't
given the wire any serious insults :-)

I use one of these, with the saw removed, and just
the biting jaws to cut away the small stuff. You
pull on the rope, to work the jaws remotely. These come
in various qualities, ranging from "useless to own",
to "actually working". Some, the cutting action is terrible.

Those also come with fiberglass poles instead of metal,
to reduce the odds of electrocution. My good tool uses
metal telescoping poles, which is a bit risky.

Paul

I do have a smaller version but
my fault entirely,..

So made a appointment with Verizon
for a service call.

Things happen,...thankfully the
computers are still running smooth
as silk.

Although just once I lost my Internet
connection and was afraid the symptoms
were returning but it snapped back on
within a minute and there hasn't been
a recurrence.


Thanks,
Robert

Here's an epilog to the computer
connection problem;

I placed a service call to Verizon via
online a week ago but the guy never showed
and since it didn;t generate a repair ticket
number I had no way to check up on it or to
contact Verizon about it.

I finally contacted Verizon from their
wireless office and make a new repair
order. The short story is that my line
was corroded and grounded.

The wire I nicked had nothing to do
with any Verizon connection and is
probably something leftover from
an old cable connection or whatever
but isn't connected to anything that
I'm aware of.

I just assumed it was the problem
because my phone was dead but it
was just coincidence.

The guy said my Internet should be
faster now as well. Not to say the
8500 didn't have issues also but
having a corroded/grounded physical
connection didn't help.

Everything seems OK now.

It's good they finally took the time to check it.
I guess you finally ran into someone in the
service department who takes their job seriously.
