Home Sweet Home Office

Problems revisited. That is the theme of today. Much of my time is spent fixing things that either should have never been a problem or on things that break down.

Except for screwing with my schedule these repair jobs don’t bother me. After all, if a small business owner cannot cope then they are in the wrong business. Now, not all my problems are business related but a problem is a problem and they all have to be corrected.

First of all, my husband’s gaming desktop has gone down again. Just a few months ago Dell had to come to my home to replace the Nvidia video card. I am sure they will be coming back to replace it again. Not a bad thing but the time it takes is annoying.

Since his computer bit the dust we moved my desktop back to his desk.

In my last post I mentioned using multiple laptops to get more work accomplished in a shorter period of time. How did I know at the time that I would be sitting here today using two laptops?

Great idea except that I had been having frustrating issues with my Dell mini 9 Netbook. After upgrading it to a 64GB SSD there were three drivers that apparently did not load correctly during the reinstallation of XP. Each time I booted up three popup bubbles – one after the other - informed me that drivers could not be found for some hardware devices.

At the same time that I was researching information for an article I need to write I was searching for a solution to the Mini 9 driver problems. I am glad to say that I found the answers and was able to solve the mysteries. Again, the problem was not a huge one – I could still use the Mini 9 but it was irritating me.

What is my problem now? Time is running short for the day and I still have to get a lot of paperwork finished. One step at a time – one foot in front of the other is the only way I know to get through any day. I am a problem solver and I love it that way.
