New computer. Whizzy. Busy.
Total empathy …
(You might try installing 360Amigo. There’s a shareware version. It helped my computer a lot, so I run it every week. It takes about three minutes now.)
I had one of those every week programmes, but we eventually caved and got a new computer. I am now just hoping I can transfer my files over before the old one really dies.
I think computer failure is one of those unique traumas that generations before us couldn’t even conceive — photographs, writing, files, email addresses, music, all at risk of total annihilation. It’s exhausting and anxiety-producing. But mostly my experience is that one ultimately survives the losses. Good luck!
I’ve been told the remedy is to reinstall the operating system, which means losing all your data, I think, so you have to back it all up. I have the same problem with my old computer which otherwise is perfectly okay. So one of these days I’ll have to practice what I’m preaching.
Thanks for the tip – but I’m moving on to a new one. I’ll clear the old one out and then maybe reinstall before passing my old laptop on to someone who wants it.
