… and here I thought by removing all other ticks, and leaving that one I’d be DL’ing a new version over the old broken one… Not wasting any cash on lotto tickets this month.

So, onward.

I did as instructed. My system seemed to lock up or something when I chose the reboot option supplied by the change program work. My comp just sat there with a black screen and what appeared to be a blinking white underscore line in the very upper lefthand corner of my screen. After approximately 5 minutes of no other action, I used my tower reset button, comp started. I go in and check, there is no Updater tool now. So I go back in to change, re-tick the box and repeat. This time there was no reboot option supplied, but I did so anyhow. I used the “shut down” command actually, not the restart command. Comp locks up exactly as before, little white flashing underscore on a dark screen. Tower reset button again, starts fine, again. Software Updater tool is now back where it belongs.

Side note, last night while I was left alone to my own devices. I had the BRILLIANT idea that uninstalling Adobe Reader would fix it. So I did it. It didn’t. Fix it that is…
So, after fixing the tool this morning I go to Adobe web site to reinstall, Adobe reader DL page is out of service…

I have since decided that it is not JUST my computer that hates me, The whole world is in on it.

Sincerely… ;D

p.s. At the moment things all seem fine. As long as I don’t need to open any PDF files.
