Hopefully, some super technology guy (or gal) can help me with this. I've tried the suggestions from the CNET discussion group without success, so I thought someone here might be able to help.

Ever since the Microsoft Fall update installed, I have had a problem with my laptop suddenly turning off. It doesn't go through a regular shutdown. It just shuts off, then reboots. The reboot takes almost 10 minutes. I bought this laptop new last December. At first, the shutdown seemed random; then I realized that it's happening every Thursday and Sunday at 8AM. If I start up after 8AM, no problems. This is just goofy. Does anyone have an idea how to correct this?

Thanks,

Archer

I've had a Hotpoint dishwasher for almost 20 years and it's still going strong. Once, I had to clear the drain. Other than that, no problems.

That's a hot bear, but the earrings are just too much.

Son of Michigan J. Frog perhaps? Or grandfather?

My feelings on the subject have evolved...

 

I'm green with envy. Wish I could dance that well.

Lord! Did anyone else see the Virgin Mary on that Super Moon tortilla?

Mary was a penguin? Who knew?

How do you say, "Do you want me to go deeper, Francois" in French?

Est-ce que vous voulez que je aller plus loin, François?

Are we looking at the same pictures? His body looks quite fine to me.

I don't remember where I heard or read this, but it sums me up perfectly. My glass is half empty and the other half was delicious!

All right, let the stupid Californian ask the basic question. How exactly does one start a car when it's -17F? Wouldn't even engine oil and antifreeze be solids at that point????

Hopefully you remembered to plug in your block heater when you parked the night before. In cold climates, they are lifesavers.

I've never met him, but those pictures are very nice. Great body and a very handsome face.

90% top, but can be persuaded sometimes.

Are we allowed to name dead actors as if they were living and still in their prime?

[thinking of the Belgian guy who shot himself in the head on set playing around with what he thought were harmless blanks ... can't recall

his name at the moment ... what a total waste of hunkhood ]

I see someone beat me to it, so I'll make my choices.
