computer gremlins

[barend]

had to have myself a tablet PC (Dell) so I got one on a lease with a dollar buy out. Now why did I have to do that???

• The video driver which controls screen orientation craps out! So the tablet function is all but a moot point.
  
• I use a second monitor in the office, there have been many instances where when I wake it up my screen is in large type. I may be going blind, but I don't need the computer to decide I need large type.
  
• Firefox: It won't open! Icon is there, it just quit working. I've already re-installed it a number of times, seems to have problems each time. The not working part is just the latest.
  
• At times when I click on a button in one program, it switches applications instead.
  
• Loading programs is (from my perspective) r-e-a-l s--l--o--w !
  
• External monitor will suddnly get fuzzy (little red lines running through it), won't go away till I re-start.
  

I'd send the damn thing back, but, Oh no! you can't do that! So I 'm screwed.

 

:soapbox:O.K. I'm done b**ching now!
