I *HATE* any kind of device or program that "thinks" it knows more about
what I want to do than I do.
Last Friday I had a tree removal company in to remove two trees that
were threatening to tear up my roof again. The guy running the show told
me I would need to contact the power company and have them drop the
service Friday morning & restore it after they had finished.
It occurred to me that might not be too good for computers & other
electronic stuff, so I carefully shut everything down on Friday morning
and then went and shut off all of the breakers at the panel.
The tree removal was uneventful, and I had the power company back out
here by 5:00pm to hook the service back up. Turned on the breakers one
at a time & everything seemed to come back normally.
EXCEPT the computer I use for Photoshop. Probably should have pulled the
mains cable as well as turning it off.
I've been bringing network resources up as I need them and finally got
around to the printer next to the Photoshop computer just now, I found
that the computer was already switched on. Hadn't noticed it because the
monitor was still turned off.
Since I didn't switch it on, what did?
When I switched the monitor on it's in the middle of some screen telling
me my computer was unable to start & it's repairing itself. How long
it's been repairing itself, I have no idea.
The repair can't be canceled either. There's a button to cancel, but
when you click it, it just pops up a message saying "The repair can't be
canceled".
I expect that it's never going to finish, and I'll eventually have to do
a complete new install of Windoze7.
