OUR DEAR FRIEND HAS CANCER FCS

[icehouse]

Morning all. Well one month out of any re-hab facility or hospital, thank God.
Living in a Veterans home while awaiting acceptance in Sr. Living.
That no good lousy CANCER seems to be in check. Still slow walking as I am going to Physical Therapy to build up strength since being laid up for 33 1/2 months.

Moon for the desktop do you know how to get rid of old unused drivers ??

Under Windows XP (the last version of Windows I was REALLY familiar with before switching to Linux back in '08 - lappy came with Vista), I'm pretty sure you could get to the hardware drivers management utility by right clicking on My Computer, maybe going to Properties. I can't imagine that changing, but I could be wrong. The typical procedure for that sort of thing was just to wipe the OS and install whatever drivers they gave us CD's for (yeah, CD's it's been THAT long lol).

@icehouse: Glad you're up and about. Keep at the therapy and listen to the doc. Seen too many people go back in because they didn't listen to the professional's advice.

Bret, I'm sure are making the most of the incredible gift you have been given. Karen and Andy are also blessed to have you!

I use the Avira free antivirus, and an assortment of other tools such as Malwarebytes, CCleaner, Registry Mechanic, and Spybot S&D.

You can also go the Major Geeks site and get familiar with what others are doing to keep their machines up and running.

'Mornin' Bret & co. How's everybody doing?

[Moonrunner]

One note on servicing your lappy. It's not as bad as it looks. You just have to use precision tools like the T6 and smaller philips, might need a bit more finger dexterity but you can swap out the parts easily, not that it's needed in this case, but good for future reference.
