I am certain young teenage boy tried this, but have you tried turning off, unplugging and rebooting everything (including the router). Sometimes, the act of unplugging causes some sort of reset. Otherwise, you might try doing a system restore to an earlier time (if you are using a PC; don't know how Macs work. Go to Start..All Programs...Accessories...System Tools...System Restore). That won't cause a loss of data, but might get rid of a weirdness if it was somehow downloaded. I would begin with the main computer since it seems to be the hog.<BR/><BR/>And, now, I have shared with you ALL of my "when the computers go crazy" tricks.Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10698723455094876828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-85184697561934900672008-04-01T00:11:00.000-06:002008-04-01T00:11:00.000-06:00Am I the only one that thinks it is fishy that the...Am I the only one that thinks it is fishy that the problem only occurs when Sasquatch is manning the alpha computer?

I was fit to be tied after wasting weeks trying to get it going. I'm an old techie person too. I was in IT all my career and used to write software and support the stuff but I was bloody well baffled to the point where I would have shot my brains out through sheer frustration. I have it all working now as I changed routers and peace now reigns throughout the household again.menopausaloldbag (MOB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04320287770097378027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407016858777887859.post-75356479062779063162008-03-31T23:12:00.000-06:002008-03-31T23:12:00.000-06:00ooooo nothing can send me over the edge faster tha...ooooo nothing can send me over the edge faster than computer problems. ugh....I'll be thinking of you.Corey~living and lovinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719661119360487023noreply@blogger.com
