I've just spent two hours at a friends, trying to work out why their laptop wouldn't connect to the Netgear router. I set up the connection countless times, changed passwords, rebooted, restarted, reconfigured, delved into Norton Internet Security :eek4: all to no avail, then I noticed a strange icon in the system tray, which turned out to be Virgin Broadband Manager. Turned the bloody thing off, and all was fine!! :argh:
Why is it that a 2 minute job on a computer, always takes hours?? :mad:
Things like that drive me mad. They have no reason for existing, imo.
Indeed. Well, this one doesn't anymore. :)
:phew:
It's like the two minute job to change a battery, which takes half an hour due to the cover not wanting to come off. :sigh:
I find I need 1/2 hour to find my tools, 10 mins for the glasses, 5 mins standing in the tool shed, wondering what I'm looking for, then usually find the thing I wanted to fix wasn't plugged in or something :red:
Been there, Bob, got too many T shirts. :)
Had one of those moments today myself.
Wireless wasn't working on my laptop. Went through everything in windows & searched the net.. an hour later i looked at the wireless switch on the side.. Yep, you guessed it, it was off!
:wall:
I don't like switches. :)
