FWIW, I do very well know about Task Manager. And many other operations.

And no, I do not have a GM car. Sheesh. Perhaps you think buying an eMachines was stupid, but what you don't know is that I got it for $100 brand new and it has worked fine for me for three years without even popping the cover. Not so stupid after all, huh?

There is no need to be insulting.

Lookout, I don't know where the hell that came from. Thanks a bunch.

Dammit, I'm sorry I asked.

The only place an insult exists is in your head. Honest people post bluntly. The only thing you will see in what I posted are facts - and all are about the computer - none are about you or what you own.

You are not insulted. In fact, you were not even considered. Considered (and insulted) was the failure that had no business making problems in your life and causing posts here. Reread that post to see your computer is the only subject. Computer that deserves comtempt like is was a GM car.

So where is this statement that you own a GM car? Does not exist. Humans are irrelevant here. Relevant is the one who is attacking you, me, and the productivity of the world. That computer that is so insulant as to fail. That is why all directions should have no "I", "You", or "Them" in it. If you want to read something into what I posted, then curse that computer with profantiy reserved only for desccribing Hitler. That is honesty. And that is the evil that we will elminate in the world.

Meanwhile, do you want to fix it now or keep struggling? I am clearly a best source for a solution because I know this stuff - obviously - and I don't waste time sugar coating (lying) the contempt for that gremblin inside your machine. But to be helpful, you must first provide information that others here don't even understand. Again, post 4.

Once you provide basic facts and numbers, then what , why and a solution follows. IOW you fix it AND you learn. Your choice. Even take things personally or appreciate that you are not the object. The only object is that 'evil' computer that will be resurrected. Amen.

So do socially inept douchebags. You'll have to excuse the confusion, we're human afterall. No offense of course.

Why do you add "we" in this discussion. Only subject is that computer (and a rumored gremblin that has taken up residence). Or are "you" that gremblin?

tw - You seem like a fairly intelligent guy with a lot of knowledge in technical areas. It's too bad that you come off as a pompous twit because you could be really helpful to lots of folks here.

So why do you apply personal biases to posts that only provides solutions to a computer problem, ask for numbers, avoid all references to "I", "You", "We", "Me" and other irrelevant parties, and that do not lie (also called being politically correct).

Why are you posting about personalities when I am only addressing a technical problem in a way that technical problems routinely get solved? If I 'come off' some way, it is 100% based in your biases - ie how you perceive sentence structures - ie some hidden meaning you feel must be in that paragraph. I am not selling something. You are not buying something. Why then should I lie? Or do you somehow feel a person is a relevant object here?

An answer to Juniper's problem is in post #4. It was taken one step further: also defined why a solution still was not achieved. Answered so that the technically empowered can learn further from the experience - ie constant references to numbers. Why then do you introduce emotional perception into a technical discussion? IOW why do you use paragraphs chock full of "I", "You", etc when none of those words apply to a computer problem?

In short, I am challenging you to only see what was posted - and ignore those silly emotions that might rise up in your brain because of how a sentence only of fact is structured. Those emotions don't solve the computer problem.

Yes, I am challenging you to read only what was posted - not entertain how your biases add perceptions and implications. Because the three points in post 4 were not performed, then nothing has yet been solved AND frustration was encountered. All that was completely unnecessary had numbers been provided from Task Manager, crucial.com, etc.
