Duh? Bad? I certainly would expect that, isn't that all part of the game--so to speak.

Wench, if I ever find a cure I'll let you know and you do the same. I love downloading pics from the internets for various things,and to have them all be in the screen saver is mucho annoying. I even deleted one but it's still in the rotation.
And because of other problems I'm having I've been talking to Dell in India and they've taken control of the laptop where they can see everything,so i'm careful where I'm clicking these days.

El, have you seen the movie, "Because I Tole You So?" If you haven't... rent it. The mental image you just painted is apropos.
Posted by: Meditrina | February 18, 2008 at 09:16 PM
Med, I just looked on imdb.com for a movie with that name and didn't see anything.
Are you talking about the one with Diane Keaton?
Posted by: Eleanor | February 18, 2008 at 09:31 PM
yep. There is a scene where she is calling for tech support because she has gotten "trapped" on a porn site. Hilarious.
Posted by: Meditrina | February 18, 2008 at 09:39 PM
Eleanor, have fun with the Dell customer service! Gaa! Some guy in India even spelled what he was saying and I was still clueless. Could just be me though. I will definitely let you know if I get it figured out!

Best of luck, fellow Vista
victimsusers. Please let me know if anyone receives useful information about thisnightmarelatest Windows operating system.Med! You survived the estrofest! How'd it go?
Posted by: Just Ducky | February 18, 2008 at 09:47 PM
Thanks, Ducky.
Honestly, it was better than I ever imagined. The movie was 3D and it was COOL. I enjoyed it. They giggled, screeched, talked like they were on the autobahn doing coke, painted nails, drew on the walls (a chalkboard wall in Minime's room) and ate more food than I thought was possible!
Today, driving the girls home, one of them said, "See, I told you this would be the best party of the year!"
SCORE! And minime has lost her voice from overuse. Tragic.
Posted by: Meditrina | February 18, 2008 at 09:54 PM
Oh, Med, I'm so sorry for her. And you.
*Snork*
Great simile, btw. And you get a gold star for the whole year for putting on (& up with) THAT party!
Posted by: Just Ducky | February 18, 2008 at 10:05 PM
That's great, Med! And about the party too. heh heh
I saw that movie Med, but I wasn't in Dell nightmare hell at the time, so it didn't resonate. I'll have to watch it again.
And yes, they do spell a lot of stuff out and it's always "i for india". And they apologize a lot. the guy on saturday asked me what time it was here and i told him and he said it would be fixed at "X" time, which was 20 minutes later. At 22 minutes it wasn't fixed and he brought it up and apologized.

I guess that jelly ring isn't for bagels.

Butt it's kosher.

All the best jelly rings are.
Posted by: Eleanor | February 18, 2008 at 10:59 PM
Ok, what'd I miss. Let the step-daughter take the interweb for a spin for a couple of hours. Oh, you guys were talking about Hannah Montana. I doubt I've missed much. *Billy Ray procreating doesn't look so bad if you had stock in his daughter's company right about now does it?*
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 18, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Oh crap, back to jelly rings...never mind.
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 18, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Off topic --- did anyone watch CSI: Miami tonight? What's with the "Bullet Points?" They reminded me of Pop Up Videos -- only more annoying.
Posted by: slyeyes | February 18, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Ok, with batteries that makes things jiggle. Now where is the sense in that when jelly will absorb the jiggles. I'm just thinking.

I missed CSI tonight. Our can opener met an unexpected death with the floor thanks to the Mrs. Since it was mine from 1997, I was sent to buy the replacement and thus spent a full hour and a half at Wal-Mart looking at everything except can openers. I nearly bought pruning shears. We don't have shrubs. The lesson, as always, make sure the spouse is with you when your on an errand to a retail store.
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 18, 2008 at 11:16 PM
Doc, in penance for the Manilow Infliction, I will tell you (in all sincerity) that your last post was a perfect channeling of His Daveness. Outstanding! I'm laughing like an idiot. But, that's nothing new....

Hey, life happens and I report. Funnier yet was that I just realized that my step-daughter apparently downloaded the Abbot and Costello routine about "Who's on First". The wife and I made a passing joke about it regarding something else and she downloaded it, loved it, and sent it to all of her friends. I don't know whether to laugh or cry or both. God bless teenagers.
Posted by: Doc Rick | February 18, 2008 at 11:31 PM
Sheesh. THIS is why I have to make sure I change my name back.
And, yes, that's hilarious. :-) I used to love that sketch.

Ahh......a deviation on that path straight to hell. What a load off my mi....acckk!

"All the best jelly rings are [kosher]."
You go, el! Ha ha ha ha
It's devices like these that made me a believer in the second coming.
(And I can't believe in 140 posts no one has beat me to that one).

Tech Update
Anyone try just changing their screensaver?
Right click on desktop. Choose "personalization".
Click on "screen saver". Choose something other than "photos" and click ok or apply.

SW, if you're very lucky (or very skilled), a third.
Things that jiggle are why batteries were invented. Of course, things with a plug are nice, too.

But I want my own pics, wingpup, not the ones thaat came with the laptop.
Posted by: Eleanor | February 19, 2008 at 01:48 PM
Ok El, choose photos and click on settings. You can choose what folder it takes pictures from.
Posted by: wingpup | February 19, 2008 at 09:17 PM
ok, wing. I did that. Didn't work. REasON IS because when I did the 'browse' thing and chose the screen was too long and the 'apply' or OK didn't show. I tried to make the taskbar disappear with the 2 arrow thingy,but it wouldn't move.
i'm done for the night. Thanks though for your help.:)
Posted by: Eleanor | February 19, 2008 at 09:43 PM
El, click on the top of the window and drag it up.

"But I want my own pics, wingpup, not the ones thaat came with the laptop."
Open the picture up in the microsoft photo viewer, then left click on it, and it should give you the option to set it as the background.
