No news yet on my computer. My brother gave me a Asus notebook a few years ago. I've never used it but set it up to  be able to see any urgent emails sent to me. Screen far to small for comfortable reading.

I think it's a problem with the computer hard drive though go zero warnings of a problem beforehand. I keep all client data files on a separate removable drive and make regular backups on another removable drive so if the hard drive is bust then I haven't lost any client data.

Just as well this happened yesterday rather then earlier so my tax return work got gone in time.

Minimal ports on this notebook so it doesn't look as if I can access external drives at the same time as being connected to the internet.

I'll try to pop in again soon to let you have an update on the computer

Take care

Nice to see you back EL    

Thanks Velvet though it's only a passing visit as per my above reply

I always check in to see all are okay   

I'm a creature of habit. I dunno if computer fixers are open here. Hope you get one.

I rang the place I bought the computer from- it's just down the road from me. It's part shop, part workshop as it's main business is providing computer support to businesses including some much larger then mine. The shop part isn't open for business but the workshop and business support is still available.
Businesses where the main activity is electronic repair services are permitted to remain open. It's similar to vehicle repair places can stay open but car showrooms can't. That's the position in England.

Good evening all

We have snow! ⛄️
Yay, good to see you back, even on a passing visit,  El. I hope the computer is fixed quickly and you are back permanently

Moonie and Velvet, I hope you’ve had a good day and Squiggle , I hope it was drier for you.

Good morning everyone it looks like we may get some sunshine today here's hoping. I'm glad you were able to pop in briefly EL.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good afternoon everyone

Quite a nice day here. Sunshine, a gentle breeze

Squiggle, I hope you get your sunshine

El, I hope your computer is fixed soon

Sweet, good to see you’re up and running again

Have a super day everyone

Hi everyone

Got my computer back this afternoon. I am far from certain that the problem has been resolved.

On Monday. while the anti-virus scan was in progress (I've set it so that it runs daily at my lunchtime) I found that it had stalled. Had to turn the computer off at the power switch. When I came to turn it on, the computer no longer recongnised my profile.
It appears that the scan was done yesterday. Too later to run the scan today. So it won't be until after lunchtime tomorrow before I know if the problem was really been resolved.

Hi El

I’m glad you got your computer back and I hope it sorts itself out tomorrow

I shall put Moonie’s Mallet on standby

Evening all

All of my snow has now gone

Good to have Summer and El back with us

Moonie, I hope El doesn’t need your mallet

I hope everyone has had a good day

Good morning everyone, thanks Moonie we did get some sunshine and it made a pleasant change. I'm glad you got your computer back EL and I hope all will be well with it now.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Thanks everyone re my computer I've changed the antiscan so that it will next run on Sunday evening. So if the computer freezes again I can then take it back to my computer repair people on Monday. My a/v scan sends any viruses detected through to the virus chest. Looking at that shows that it's empty. I'm careful with sites I visit, I don't look at attachments or go to links on suspect emails, the a/v monitors sites which are suspect and sends a warning if for some reason I'm trying to access one. So that would be why the virus chest is empty.

Fairish weather here today. Looks as if it could turn cold and snowy from Sunday so could cause problems.

I hope everyone has a good day

Misty but mild here. A lot of rain expected this afternoon

El, from Sunday until at least Wednesday we are expected anything from -1 to -7 overnight temperatures here

Time to get out the thermals methinks

Have a lovely day everyone
