Inspiration

Break on through to the other side.

My new computer became unresponsive after an experiment, so I created a fresh recovery disk and inserted the thumb drive it was on into the computer. The result was that the computer got recovered, and is now working properly again. In order to solve a recent problem having to do with users and trying to startup without a password, things got tangles and the hiberfile apparently got scragged. The reset solved the difficulty, but not without the Lord giving me the insight, or, inspiration. It doesn't hurt to write down what you do step by step so if a similar problem arises, a similar solution might be applied.

Recently, I found I could create a new user and delete the old one and solve the problem of having to type a password. That was then, and this is now; apparently, Microsoft decided to disable the perfectly legitimate means of setting the PC so it would not insist on having a password typed. As it now stands, there is no way, and I don't mess with the registry, and the solution would have to lie there, if there one.

I am simply happy to have the PC functioning again. I copied the installation discs of my main programs to the hard drive for just such occasions as when it become necessary to completely scrubbing the hard drive to get rid of errors and problems. Having important data saved on an external hard drive to be recovered at a later date also helps to reduce the strain of wiping everything away and having to restore the data and hope nothing  important was  lost.

Certain matters were weaing heavily on me, and the work of restoring the computer helped me concentrate on something else. God is good +
