Dr. Tom, I got the impression that was going to happen to XP and Internet Explorer 8 in December, which is why I bought a new computer. If I thought I could have continued with XP, I'd have just kept right on with the thing. I was used to it; it worked fine. But, I kept getting warnings any time I went to Google, which was every day, that soon my systems were no longer going to be supported.
Bye for now, Carolyn -----Original Message----- From: Tom Behler [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, December 12, 2015 10:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Very Strange Issue With Old Windows XP Computer Hello, everyone. I have an old Windows XP computer that I use for logging as a ham radio operator, and I have just experienced a very strange problem with this computer. The computer worked fine last night, but this morning, when I turn on the computer, I can't get to any of the programs on the machine. If I turn on the computer, I can hear the hard drive start to engage, but after waiting for a few seconds, nothing happens, other than a double beep which I'm sure indicates something. . Jaws will not come up, so I can't read the screen. And, I don't have any sighted assistance here to look at the screen. Has anyone experienced this sort of thing before, and if so, can you tell me what might of happened? Most important, how do you get the computer back into normal operation?
