Good morning Linus

I have a tech question?

Lately my computer freezes up -

I don't even have to be on it - I'll come home from work and it's frozen and I have to hard reboot.

I tried doing a roll back on Vista but I get an error message on that as well......

Help?

No Windows updates?

Hello, Linus! *pours lotsa coins into tip jar*

I have a weird problem that I cannot figure out how to solve; my computer screen keeps changing colors on me. Right now it's yellow; all the colors are grayed out, and everything which should be bright white is a strange grayed out greenish yellow. After a few minutes, it will switch to another color. I cannot find the setting to turn this weirdness off. Right now, I notice it's slowly leaving yellow and going more green. The smilies are all pink instead of bright yellow...

I'm running Windows 7, IE--it does affect the whole computer, not just the browser. It even affects the games.

Sure hope you know where to look to change this setting; calibrating the colors and changing themes does nothing to affect it.

Thanks!

Gemme · 02-22-2011, 08:49 PM

Okay. I haz questions.

I have multiple emails. In this particular instance, email A and email B. Email A has NEVER been linked to this site. That is strictly what email B is for. Yes, BFP has its own special email addy with me.

Now, when I logged into email A today, there's links to BFP and some of the threads here, but instead of saying Butch Femme Planet on the left like my emails in email B do, it lists the poster's Facebook name.

I think I was added to a FB group by someone here without my permission, but I'll deal with that later. That might explain one of the threads that is coming up, but another one is not linked to FB at all.

I don't understand why there's bleeding from one email to the next or why people's names are coming up instead of BFP, especially since I'm not in a group that is linked to both places. I especially don't like the idea of MY name coming up when I post in that particular thread, which I will eventually do, since it's a regular thread for me.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining it clear enough, but I know you'll let me know if we're on the same page.

Thanks in advance!

Holy crap the site is loading very slow... Everything else is loading fine but here... Is Medusa playing again.. *grin*

Medusa · 02-22-2011, 09:39 PM

Gemme - The emails you are receiving are replies to a Facebook group which was created by a member here. The Facebook group features a topic that we have here and when people reply to that, it is sending a response to your inbox.
I was also added to that group.

I was doing some testing in the back end that shouldnt have caused any slowness but we might need to reboot the server.

Hi there,

It's unlikely that you need a new laptop. I would suggest, however, that you probably need a very solid system check. This can be done by the likes of the Geek Squad at Best Buy or even a local computer store (likely to be cheaper than the Geek Squad).

The other option to do is to reformat it back to factory default (Dell's usually have a recovery section on the hard drive). This is another alternative but you should ensure that all critical data is backed up and you keep necessary info for applications (e.g., license codes) somewhere safe so you can restore those applications.

Hey, Linus.

I've tried to thank a couple of people today and I get this error every time:

<html> Your request timed out. Please retry the request. </html>

My cookies are cleared.

Edited to say nevermind. I cleared the cookies and tried to thank again with no success and then got distracted by the pest guy and then I accidentally....maybe....kicked Bessie and now I seem to be able to thank just fine.

I think I'll just kick her first next time.
