Another Bump In The Road . But I Am Back!

Hello All,

We all have bumps in the road to success. I had made a commitment to give WA time at least 4 to 5 days a week. So when unexpected things happens it just frustrates me.

I had my last cataract surgery last Thursday and anticipated a 1-2 day recoup before heading back to the computer. When I did, I found the dreaded blue screen of death on my monitor.

In trying to play computer tech I realized that something, (perhaps a virus or malware), had got into my system files and I was getting errors from anything from Windows to my internet adapter. It took me time to figure out that only a reinstall of Windows and some updated drivers was going to fix it. Boy, what a mess.

But I am back. Everything is in order now. I upgraded my OS and device drivers. I also invested in better virus protection and made sure all the virus databases were updated. I had some virus protection on, but I think something got through. I don't know for sure though. But it still shows that virus, malware, and trojan protection is vital.

So I am glad to get back to work and connecting with all my WA friends. Onward.

Dianne
