My touchpad is being all twitchy again so it's a good job I downloaded those drivers yesterday. If this doesn't fix is permanently I'm out of ideas though

My next stop will be to wave it under the nose of one of the guys at work and see if they've got any ideas. LOL

I don't understand!

The installation of new drivers didn't fix my touchpad so I switched off my laptop ready to take it to work and get someone to look at it.

Now it's working.

I have no idea if it's going to last but I suspect it will be fine until I get back home tonight. LOL!

I really think I want a new laptop but I have to pass my driving test and save up for all these trips I have planned for August and September, and then depending on what happens with my job I might have to move house.

Argh!

Only plus side is if I have to move for a job I will be earning enough that a new laptop won't be an issue. I can has now pls?

It's my adaptor! I just plugged it in to charge the battery and the mouse has gone screwy again.

Well, I have no idea what to do about that. Aside from not use my latop when it's plugged in, which isn't very practical

The guy I bought the adaptor from has asked me to return it and he'll send me a replacement. I'm going to check my old adaptor tonight (and I'm glad I kept it now. Nearly chucked it yesterday) and check all the power info matches what I've been sent.

Means I'm going to have to go back to my old one for a few days though. Grr!

I love it when my job comes in handy

[livejournal.com profile] supernaturalhel just rang me and said she'd booted up her computer and it was telling her that the resolution was wrong but it would't display the desktop for her to change it

OOH! OOH! I read about this when I revising last week. I talked her through it and it worked! YAY!

I am not totally useless at IT! LOL!

I'm having an evening of Battlestar tonight. I have this weeks episode to watch and then I'm watching some more of Season 3 with Dave. I need an icon of Six, and another one of Lee because I deleted my old one as I didn't like it. Must find pretty pics and make icons

Oh, and I read another issue of Buffy on Saturday

Buffy Season 8 - Issue 15 )

Sorry to keep going on about this but it's so weird! I described the symptoms to our tech guys at work and none of them have ever seen anything like it before.

Essentially, down to trial and error, I have worked out that the problem only occurs when the adaptor is plugged in and the battery is fully or nearly fully charged. The rest of the time it's fine. I've compared all the input and output numbers with the old adaptor and they're identical.

I guess I should still send it back even though it really is workable. I don't need to have it plugged in when the battery is fully charged.

It's just annoying that I'm going to have to use the faulty one while I wait for the replacement.

Tomorrow I am going to take my final opportunity to see Iron Man at the cinema before the long wait for it to come out on DVD. Then The Incredible Hulk is out on Friday. WHEE!!!

The ending of Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men was rubbish!
