My slight complications,..

Posted by Bambi B on May 15, 2008 at 07:16:52:
cbd,

Yes, of course in it's use for recording, the anti-virus programme is not only useless, it's the problem. The problem is, I need that computer to be completely ready for office use as a backup to my troublesome Windows XP computer. The 40GB main hard drive of the office 2.4 Ghz Dell is full and it's behaving badly. I have to restart it at least twice a day. The signs of unreliability means I need the recording computer to have AutoCad, CoreDraw, Wordperfect, and the Internet/email ready to go.

It's a slightly silly situation that will be cured when I put the new 500GB drive in the office computer and reload everything, but this is always a dreaded two day plunge into frustration. Getting 3 versions of AutoCad (R14, 2000, 2004) set up with the dozens of subtle drawing and display preferences, configure for 6 plotters and printers, plus email and etc. is painful.

Cheers,

Bambi B
