Grrrr...
Greg did something to the main home computer. My laptop no longer links to the cable transmitter now, the icon for Linksys is flashing and broken. So this is my only online connection. Also, he did something to the monitor settings which I can NOT seem to undo. Everything is teeny tiny. Seriously...I can hardly see what I'm typing.
Every weekend he spends each and every moment playing games on this thing, & I guess that'll have to be okay. I mean it's sad , pathetic that he spent all day Saturday (which was BEAUTIFUL) playing games on a computer (12 hours at least, on Saturday alone) inside...but whatever. I've tried begging and I've tried threatening, so I've given up & I just go do my own thing alone (or with Charlotte) and that just seems to be the way it'll have to be.
But HOLY CRAP. I must use this computer for business. I have maintenance to do, each day, on my Etsy site. I have listings to make, orders to confirm, e-mail to send...it's not like I'm just sitting here playing a game. This is my JOB. And today I can't do it. The screen setting is giving me a headache and my brand new laptop has been rendered useless.
I have already bitched about this because it was messed up last night. Apparently I did not bitch seriously enough. This really really sucks...

Go figure.
I called him & had him talk me through the monitor thing (I did just what you described). It prolly sounds funny, I'm SO computer-stupid...but as long as no one messes with the settings everything works just fine. I turn on the box, click the pretty icon, & everything is ok...unless it's not.
Frankly HE is the one who needs a laptop if you ask me. I even offered to buy him one. He swears his freaking games are SOOOO powerful and NASA-space-station-like that a regular laptop just can't handle his gigantic game programs...which is why he monopolizes the home PC 90% of the time. I think if he had his own laptop just for games he could gunk it up all he wanted & leave this PC (my main work PC, since I can't get my old version of Photoshop to run on my Vista laptop) the heck alone.
