Just unplug!!

March 12th, 2009 at 02:25 pm

I was not able to use my computer all day yesterday. When I tried, all I got was "cannot find server" I turned it off and would wait a few minutes, but I could never get on the internet. Boy, what a boring day!!
Today, it was the same, so I called customer service at Windstream. I got a recording and it told me to unplug my computer and wait for 2 minutes. It worked! (You can tell I know nothing about computers at all)
The stock market did go up 2 days in a row, I won two games of mah jong on Tuesday and I save $6 using coupons on my grocery shopping yesterday, so that is $10 more to add to my challenge.
Prev. total $4681.00
today 10.00
new total $4691.00

    That's very strange. I'm not sure how unplugging the computer for 2 minutes would have resolved whatever was causing that problem....

    But at least it's working now. Glad to hear it!

    BA: It's like a reset button. I occassionally have to do the same thing when my printer is stuck and won't print. I first cancel all documents, unplug my printer and then turn it back on and restart my computer. It usually resets everything.

    What happens is if you have a wireless and a modem, sometimes they stopped talking to each other and you need to unplug them to reset them. Probably the same thing if the modem stops communicating with the CPU unit. Glad you got things fixed.

    Yep, I've had to do that before too. Glad you got your computer working again.
