Computer Woes Cont. So Much for my Day...
Well, I awakened to the blue screen of death. Not fun. I knew I should have shut the blasted thing down before bed.
It wants me to check for updated drivers. This seems to be a problem. There doesn't seem to be any one-stop shopping on this, of course. I went to check out printer drivers and USB drivers. I'm supposed to go through Computer Management to find the USB drivers, Click on Device Manager, and so forth.
There is no "Device Manager" option in the tree.
I swear I have done all my MS updates!
I would back out and go check other areas, but the Add/Delete program seems to have hung on an old TurboTax program I'm trying to delete. So it may be reboot with something open, which we all know is A Bad Thing.
This computer is only 5 years old, and after the week with the car, I really don't want to replace it. But I'm starting to wonder about it. Also, wondering if the Comodo and I are not compatible. They have the Geekbuddy service. May have to try it out. I didn't think I had it, but every time the machine reboots, it tells me I do have it.
UPDATE: Device Manager has mysteriously returned to the list. Things are not enhanced, suggesting I should do this. But -- "Other Devices" has vanished. *Sigh*
Continuing Update: I don't think these are updating -- I think they are re-installing from MS SYSTEM. And -- the world "enhanced" is not appearing.
I am NOT amused....
