August 12, 2011 Friday Afternoon

Got up this morning at 6 AM. Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot. Got as much done early hoping for a call from Best Buy to come pick up the computer. I know once I get it, putting all my files and applications back on will take most of the week. Best Buy called around 10:15 AM to tell me to come pick up the computer, it is done. Drove to Best Buy and got the computer and brought it home. Plugged it in and all I could get was a Windows Logo screen and no icons or tool bars. Tried calling the Geek Squad and was put on hold for 45 minutes. Went to lunch with the guys with computer tower in car ready to go back to Best Buy. Went back to best buy to have them plug it all in and everything looked great. WTF? Came home and plugged it all in here at home and had the same problem before. No toolbars or icons. Figured it had to be a resolution thing or something. After about an hour and ready to throw the damn thing out the window I figured it all out. Since I plugged in the cable to the TV from the computer, Windows 7 makes two screens. So the icons and menus were all on the TV and not the computer. Did a little playing and got it all figured out. Well, kinda. I got the icons and such to the computer but haven't gotten the second screen on the TV to work right. That will have to wait. Started putting all my files from the external hard drive to the new hard drive in this computer. They are still tranfering and from what it says, it will be about 24 hours. I have that many files in songs, music, and pictures. So now I am slowly installing all the other things from disks like the printer and mixing software little by little. Still haven't gotten email figure out yet. Wrote a long post to have it go no where since now there is Explorer 9 on the computer. I tried to get rid of it and go back to Explorer 8 but the computer for some reason will not let me. I then tried some settings and found a way to get this posting on Explorer 8 so I can Publish Post. Sounds confusing. Anyone having this problem with Blogger and Explorer 9 will know what I am talking about and can email me for the fix. Will spend the night working on the computer watching TV. Supper? I will be to busy and Tony will have to settle for soup or something. No plans for the weekend except working on the computer getting it to where it all way. Got to go back to installing. Have a great weekend everyone.
