Big Kahuna from Inside the CorralSat here most of two days fussing to get my computer and internet connections working. It was one of those “just do it” things. It was miserable. Spent a long time on hold with two phone calls to the ubiquitous guys in India, neither one of us understanding the other - very frustrating. But we persevered. It seems to be back to normal now.
I don't know what messed it up but hughes.net lost my password apparently, I have no clue why. Anyway it disappeared for email and internet. When I switched to the satellite they said the only time I would have any trouble would be from weather interference. It actually started Saturday with my messages hanging up and then downloading 55 of them over and over. Had to turn off the computer every time to get it to disconnect. I hope the thing about sending more than one message might be fixed too - time will tell. Of course the server blames it on the computer and computer "help?" blames it on the server. Many thanks to Richard in S.F. for all his advice and suggestions as more is gone awry than just the connection.
In going into all the innards of the computer that I went through, I finally found out how to reinstall Quicken which went haywire the 2nd time I used it. The fix was so very very simple, and very obscure. So on my own I was able get the failed Quicken reinstalled! TA DA! Now Quicken wants a password and I don't know what it is so can't get in there anyway. I would swear I never had one before, but it insists whatever I put in there is wrong, so I haven't been able to open the Quicken. Do I care??? Remember this is a new computer. And when I can drive in and out again its going to the computer guy in Pinedale. Hopefully I don’t procrastinate that until the guarantee is up.
