Terrible computer morning
Good morning. We’re Up!! I know a bit too much, right? Eh, it’s ok. It’s about 10 minutes to 5 and we’ve been up for an hour. We’re in the process of downloading and installing the newest version of Symantec 360. We’ve been getting reminders to do it and I know it’s been a while. I read through all the stuff it does and thought yes I really do need that for my computer. My computer and the center’s computer need it too. We’ll see if I can reload it there. Supposedly I can reload though I’m not sure if I can do it on another computer, but it would seem I should, because the biggest reason for reloading is if you get a new computer. It sure has helped my computer be sluggish this morning, but then I have to admit when I started I was cleaning up my disk. I started closing down the most unnecessary programs to get some kind of CLOSURE.Ack now we’ve got to close the McAffee program that was on the computer, but we’ve got to wait for the add remove program being populated. That procedure takes forever anyway, and now we’re on slow mode. Just concentrate on other stuff going on, right?
We got our new TV set-up last yesterday. That’s major still. We figured out how to use the DVR, which is really cool … It’s worth EVERYthing. We taped a show on sextuplets last night and then we taped Anderson Cooper which is a two hour news program from CNN. Cooper is my favorite newscaster and we haven’t heard him forever.
Shoot … we’re back … it’s now already 5:47 am and we’re having a terrible time downloading the program. It gets to a part that says we have to deinstall McAfee Security Center that was previously in the computer, but then when we go to remove that – it doesn’t allow us to erase because it says we have to do something about the legacy program, and even looking in the help/support, there is no apparent means of getting rid of it. I think I am going to have to contact someone to help. We’re trying one more thing. But, I’m not confident that’s going to work either. In the meantime I’ve lost 2 hours of writing time and am frustrated.
It’s funny I just thought … Hmm Cooper is running the same news program twice most likely to cover people listening in at 9 pm AND 10 pm. So, I picked up the remote and turned around and just at that second the taped program stopped. Wow … Clairvoyant! We thought we made some progress with the downloading, but that’s still being worked through. Apparently there is away to get around the last problem, but we’re now waiting for the Norton to create a security checkpoint. Eh.
No, I don’t really know what’s going on past there, but I wish my computer would get it together.
In the meantime I might want to take my shower since its 6 am. I’d like to give it some time to finish if it’s still working, but pretty much I want to turn off my computer so it’s up by the time I get back from the shower. Everything before indicated I was going to have to restart to work the new program. IF – we’ve gotten that far.
