Darned Computers
Computers have been around a good time now, but they still can't get things right.
A few weeks ago I bought a new decent spec Dell (I'm not criticising them) and all was going well.
Today my DVD was no longer recognised. Un-useable. I tried for hours to get the computer to recognise the DVD drive. No driver updates worked. Removing and re-installing the drivers etc. failed to work. Checked the Dell Help site and that of Microsoft. Hundreds of people seem to be having problems with drives not being recognised.
Tonight I remembered that there was an update for Apple iTunes yesterday. Think it was about 73MB. I removed Apple iTunes and hey presto, everything is back to normal.
I'm no computer expert but have played around with them for years. I hate to think how much trouble a novice would have and the costs that they might incur trying to sort such a problem.
