But maybe it was me because I think I left my computer on when I went to work today, and I have no idea what it may be doing in my absence. The motel computer uses Windows Explorer, but my one at home uses Vista, and I just recently started using Chrome.

Oh, I feel terrible! I am so sorry!

And how could it do that without me knowing?

I think I know who, but I wouldn't want to throw any gas like liquids on the fire

Well, there's a first time for everything Jim.

SamIam · 04-30-2011, 09:47 PM

No, you're right in your suspicions, Jim. I feel so bad. I can't figure out what happened, and I'm stuck here at work until 10:00pm.

Well your home addy is blocked now, but reboot your router and it may get you a fresh usable address.

How do I reboot my router? Is that the same as rebooting my computer?

Undertoad · 05-01-2011, 11:06 AM

Not necessary now because your Vista system is not clobbering us. But did you notice anything odd about the system when you got home? Was it locked up or anything?

Yes - turn it off, count to ten, turn it back on again.

Yes, the system was completely locked. I suspect that what triggered the melt down on my end was the alarm app that I had loaded onto my desktop. Without anyone there to stop it, the alarm just pinged away and must have been doing that the entire 10 hours I was at work yesterday.
