Title: I am a complete idiot...
Post by: stillupfront on September 19, 2005, 08:44:50 AM
...when it comes to computers. I have a new laptop. When I try to view video, all I see is what looks like an IR image. Is something setup wrong? Please help me.

Has it looked like that since you got it?

Did you adjust any settings?

Do you have the latest drivers for your graphics card?

Do you really think you're a complete idiot just at computers?

I saw the title of this thread and assumed that MDS had written it.

Easiest thing would be to get on the horn with Dell; let them worry about it.

And by "Dell" he means "New Delhi."  You'll enjoy that.

That's fine. I am a huge fan of free enterprise and am a devout capitalist pig.

Excerpt of your conversation (based on my experience with HP):

Service Rep:  Undo the screw in the back of the computer.
You:  OK, done.
Service Rep:  Wonderful! Wonderful!  Now slide off the casing.
You:  OK, done.
Service Rep:  That's wonderful!

I tell you, I thought I was talking to Abu from the Simpsons.  :-D
