Just So You Know
Dec 18th, 2006 by Don Ray
It appears that my Wonderful XP system has bitten the dust (operating system wise). I am now getting a repeated Blue Screen followed by an immediate reload.
This may take me a while to correct and I am just letting you know that I don’t know when it will be fixed and I will be completely back up and on the air. I am posting this on my dependable Linux system.
The good news is that I just backed up all of my files this morning to my small external disk. I am planning on being out of town from Wednesday until sometime in January. That may be when I get my system back up and running.
Update: I guess I was lucky. I was able to bring my system up in safe mode, and complete a upgrade that had not finished. When it completed its install, I then removed the Sunbelt Firewall which had had a conflict with the other upgrade and everything appears to be good.
Don Ray, what a bummer!! I’ve read about this XP problem before. You may have already done this but I did a search on Google using the string “windows xp blue screen reload”. Obviously, this is not an uncommon problem.
Here’s one forum on CNET which you may find helpful:

I hope you can get it worked out with a minimum of headaches. In the meantime, have a good trip and a great Christmas.
My daughter just made our flight reservations tonight for Panama from Jan. 29 to Feb 5, 2007. I am so excited!!
Have a cheerful Christmas time, don`t worry XP problems !

Hi Lynda and Leena. It appears I was able to grab success from the hands of the Grinch. Christmas has been saved. Thanks for both your good wishes.
Don, Have a great get away. Let me know when you return. Good idea and you deserve some fun. Best wishes and I will be thinking of you. Dick
Thanks Dick. I am sure i will have fun.
Great news, Don! I’m glad you were able to resolve the computer problem.
(Correction to my previous post: we will be in Panama until Feb. 12th, not the 5th. Two weeks is better than one.)
Thanks Lynda. I know you will enjoy your trip.
Where you headed on you get away?
It is a secret. Better keep your doors locked.
ahhhhhh!!!! New door or old door??? hehehe
