I have never known what it is to have a boring day - ever. one day things
work fine, the next who knows waht happened. For example, the two USB ports
on the front of the case worked fine and tehn one day they didn't. A little
patience and dilegence goes a long way in troubleshooting. In Device Manager
I discovered that the ports in question had no drivers installed. Ok, so
push the Update Driver button and al is good again.

The question is how can USB ports work one day and not the next?

Re: I Love Windows

Hi Frank,,,

I wish I could answer your query for you, but I can't. The only thing that
comes to mind is: *%it happens...

When you consider the thousands and thousands of lines of code the computer
must read and execute every time you boot the machine, it's amazing that
they work as well as they do. I,ve also had drivers or something of that
ilk suddenly become corrupted, but it's happened here too.

Given all the variables - hardware, software, user - the real question is
"Why does any of this work at all"?

RE: I Love Windows

As a mate of mine used to say:"I don't want to know how it works; I just want
it to work."

Re: I Love Windows

I completely understand your mate's attitude. I've wished I could settle
for that, but I'm one of those "unfortunate's" that need to know HOW things
work; and boy, can that get me in trouble sometimes!

Re: I Love Windows

Amen, Curt I'm of the same opinion and also like to know the "hows" and
occasionally get in too deep.

I am happy I was able to ferret out the problem and fix it this time, for
that I am thankful.

Make a Great Day,
