I shot my laptop.

Hello from Jakarta,

I'm a Brit living in Indonesia for 10+ years,loving it,learning to use my PC and studying photography online,as best I can while following my family's world music band around,documenting their progress.

The reason I'm here is,I posted to my home photo forums,yesterday,and got a windows pop-up asking for my Email address.....crybaby ..the mods think my computer has some serious problems,so am tiptoeing thro' all the required steps posted here to get help
(You guys are very cool and smart-appreciate it all)

First pic is my pop-up,second the one I was posting at the time....some kind of local salute ?

When 'm done with all the steps,if still sane and not gibbering jello on the floor,I'll post my results.

Thanks all-its really nice to get this info on what to do,instead of nervously awaiting an answer to a thread ,(or not,if the guys are busy) I'm actually learning and working on a solution.

 

roflmao @ 'salute'. I wonder if that's a universal greeting of hate? Welcome aboard, ignore my statement and hope you find an answer. LOL, that is a funny pic and not knowing Indonesian culture, I can't hazard a guess for obvious reasons.:-D

 

:wave and welcome to MG's..

 

Thanks,nice welcome,guys !

I'm actually enjoying doing this,(between panic attacks),really grateful for all the info and help.While fearless as a photog,I'm a wuss with windows,etc.

Halo,

Wouldnt dream of going it alone - halfway congealing as I write,
mostly because I downloaded an out-of-date tool from a link for
"Combofix. (Expires end of 08.) :confused

Gonna run it in reduced mode,due to that.

Just how far up that wall are you,right now ?

augiedoggie,

Its probably just the camera angle-but certain districts have fun wedding rites involving ritual insults,martial arts sparring sessions between the families,and then the bride-and-groom-fights...:-D

 

That sound like a typical English wedding.

Welcome to MGs where we have more nationalities than the UN

 

Bill,
Yeah,seen a few like that,but here they are sober AND still crazy,the men wear knives tucked into the cummerbund of their sarongs...(pic)
My family has more nationalities than most,makes for interesting,if rather contrasty photos.

Halo,
Correct,its not your link,but the site,Beeping computer, which has the problem-I'm stuck here,under Step 2,number 4.

My bad,Halo,

-I had posted,first,when encountering difficulties in following the "Read&Run Me "stuff,so then had 2 posts worth of attachments to add makes 3 posts in all,didnt want to jam the gears up with too many threads.

-Just knowing someone will be dealing with it at some point is a real comfort...

Welcome to Majorgeeks.com

I read this thread title and now I have the Bob Marley song going through my head.....

"I shot my laptop....but I didn't shoot my P.C.......oh nooo noooooo nooooooo" :-D

 

Oh nooooooooooooooo!!!!!! You Started my mental tape loop Lev!:eek

 

HAHA....I keep saying we need a Music Forum in the Off Topic arena :-D

 

I thought the exact same thing, although my inner ear is hearing the Clapton version.

....this morning..seems I have some problems,but waiting quietly confident,
YEAH GUYS I DID IT !! ok,not so quietly :major

-Off to shoot something else,before I forget how to use my legs.

Thanks all,you are MAJOR good guys :grouphug

 

Have you tried logging off the photo forum, clearing your cache, restarting your browser and then trying again to post your photos there?

If you can post the photos here with no problems, it seems to be on the other board you are having troubles, not exactly your system.

Although a cleansing from the malware section will not hurt

 

Thanks for taking the time,B.O.O.M.M.

I followed all the Read me and Run steps,-tho' pretty nervous,felt more confident with the awesomely easy guides-you guys rock !
-and now see I have more instructions on my Malware thread...quick answer,toff to work.
My teenagers may even give me some respect for doing this without a major freak out- :celebrate
Thanks again.

 

aw. i was hoping to see some cool pictures of bullet holes in a laptop.

 

me too, i'm kinda disappointed now.:guns

 

"Re-Booted"

 

Don't think I wasn't tempted...lol ..."Re-Booted" :-D

HEY,WHY ARE MY ATTACHMENTS SO SMALL ??

 

Thats because you are using "manage attachments" I use Image shack and upload the image with that then use the URL given by image shack.



you can also use Photobucket

 

See what you mean..nice..er..attachment.

 

Thank you,Bill,

Today fighting Roman rulers-Nero-that program was better named than they know-its totally after world domination.
