Re: Crashed.....

[Guest guest]

When I had used my Gateway I was using Windows 98 and I think I would format the

hard drive about once a year. Windows 98 is notorious for crashing. I would save

all my program information, reformat the hard drive and start over.

After that it would be good until I overtasked it. That's when I decided to buy

Windows XP. Matter of fact, I did it, one Saturday while Insoon was asleep after

Win98 crashed. I went and bought Win XP had it installed and had Insoon's

breakfast in bed before she could argue! :-)

If you can, try to budget a few dollars each month. Memory is real cheap to

upgrade, and recently so are PCs. You would be suprised. You can find a PC

cheaper now than what you paid for yours that does twice as much!

Abijaan,

I have a computer in my den doing nothing, that I would ship to you no problem.

I wish I could help.

really missed being with the group.

Our computer completely went the other day. A friend of my

husbands is going to try to wipe our harddrive completely clear

and download everything again into it. We cannot connect to

the internet, it only clicks and there is no dial tone or

dialing up after that. My husband tried to reload Windows into

it and tried to update as much as possible with Windows 98,

but that didn't work. His friend had a spare that his sister gave

to him and he set that up for us to use just temporary, so

for a little while...we will still be able to be on the web.

Our monitor works okay. We cannot afford a new one so if his

friend cannot fix it, I don't think we will be able to stay on.

Thank you all for caring so much. I very much enjoyed being

with all of you. My husband is stable and I'm doing okay.

I'm so happy that some of you are being evaluated for transplant.

The testing is mostly like having an x-ray done. The worst one

is the liver biopsy cause it is invasive, the others are not.

They will sedate you for it, if you ask, and you won't have to

experience it.

The evaluation form is to find out if your family supports you,

if you truly want and are able to face having the transplant,

if you are compliant with all the doctor tells you, if you

are truthful about all things, and if you will take care of

the organ by following everything the doctors ask afterwards.

If you have all this, that I stated above, you should have no

problem with this form or the one you may be given by the

phycologist later on.

The unknowns ahead are always frightening...don't let it shake

you too much. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to

ask...so many are on here to help those through the things that

other ones here have already been through. This link is a good

one for understanding most of what may go on:

I've posted that before, but it is one of the best.
