I just broke my laptop.
I tried installing a BIOS upgrade, and messed up.
Back on portable apps on my work laptop again
Looks like you may have to take it in to a repair shop and have the BIOS chip flashed or replaced.
Whenever I have to flash a BIOS on either Lilly or Wendell, I cross my fingers because who knows if the flashing process will mess things up. Lilly especially, since a power outage while flashing her internal NewWorldROM would spell the end for her. And I'm not talking about a power outage during a thunderstorm. I'm talking about a power outage that occurs out of the blue on a perfect clear day.
Wendell's Microsoft Office uninstall success!! This time, the fonts that came with Office were left behind! The uninstaller just passed them up! I think that is a good move to prevent any unwanted font issues if they ended up being removed.
I think I will just install LibreOffice for Wendell. Lilly is my main computer system anyway, with Wendell being secondary as well as being my portable system.
Next up....Norton Internet Security 2011. It's great, but it's features can be replicated by free programs like AVG and ZoneAlarm. It looks like I may not have enough funds to get another yearly subscription, so when Wendell turns 1 year old on March 17th, off it goes. I just hope the newer Norton uninstall programs are more thorough than older ones. Besides, overall system performance may improve once Norton is gone.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
