All set last night for a session of aligning and setting up but...........
Alas Carole your old faithful laptop that you gave me all those years ago has finally descended to the great scrap heap in the sky.
At first wouldn't boot, it just kept freezing at the bios
Then wouldn't boot into Windows even in safe mode,
just kept hanging, at different points
eventually it booted
Then the keyboard didnt work,
some keys were double entering and some were just not working
and if that wasnt enough.
Hard disk was ticking, and it kept freezing followed by the BSOD.
Considering its age and how much use i got out of it, Time for a new second hand one of my local fence (ebay).
Mac.
RIP
