This is my second post of the day. But I need to get this off my chest.
I got a new computer to replace one that went missing on me. I had nothing but problems with it from the time I took it out of the box so today I scheduled it to be taken back to the repair shop to be fixed. I had called Toshiba last week to get what they call a Depot order and was told that I needed to pay $24.99 for shipping before they would have UPS deliver a return box for me. I paid that and it was delivered to me on Tuesday. I packed the computer up and called UPS to have them come back and get the box. I was informed by the UPS person if I wanted to schedule someone to come and get the package I needed to pay and additional $9.28! WTH! It has now cost me over $35.00 to return a computer that didn't cost me anything to have shipped new from Wal-Mart. I don't have to pay to have it shipped back to me because I have already paid that thank goodness. I just hope they fix the problem and when I get it back in 7-10 BUSINESS days it works the way a new computer should. If I spent all that money for something that is a piece of crap I'm going to be real upset.
So that brings me to the business of this computer I'm using now. First of all the R key is missing. Then it must have a virus or something because it's slower than heck. I'm typing away and what I'm typing isn't showing up on the screen when I type it. I'm 4 words ahead of what's showing up. I went back to using my yahoo e-mail account becuse Charter.net wasn't working right anymore. Not that I liked it to start with but I switched to it because at the time Yahoo didn't support one of the programs I needed to open some e-mails. Everytime I tried to open something with flash player it crashed. I'm having that problem again but at least Yahoo has fixed the problem so I can open all my e-mails now. Flash Player still crashes but it doesn't interfer with me opening them.
Another problem with the computer I'm using now is the mouse pad is screwed up. I don't know why but the cursor jumps all over the place. I'll be typing away and move my hand and the cursor jumps back into the text I have just typed. So I have to keep fixing things. If I use an external mouse it doesn't happen but I have no where to put a mouse and mouse pad on my computer stand.
Also with this computer the printer doesn't want to print. I can set something up to print and it won't print till I turn the computer back on after a complete shut down. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the software but it doesn't help. I even called the company that makes my printer and they say it's a firewall problem. I have tried to do what they say and it doesn't work. So I'm stuck without a printer till I get my new computer back and reinstall software on it. I need to be able to print coupons and I can't. It's going to make shopping harder without the coupons.
I hope I get my computer back fast and it works. Once I get it back I have to figure out how to download my stuff off the cloud drive so I have all my programs and features on the new computer that I had on the old one.
