I thought my tales of computer woes were behind me. Even I am getting bored with them. But I have two new problems and I can only blame one of them on Dell. Let's start with that one.
Problem #1: My new Thinkpad had no drivers for my old Dell Printer. No problem, I thought, so I put the utilities disk that came with the old Dell into my new Thinkpad, to download the driver. The result? I got a message that that said something like, "This is not a Dell Computer and therefore we will not let you load the drivers Nyah. Nyah. Nyah." So I went to the Dell website and tried to download the drivers from there. No dice. There has to be a workaround for this. There just has to be or I have to buy a new printer, which does not thrill me at all.
Any suggestions?
Problem #2: This one scares me more. You ma recall how I lost my "I" on the Dell and even did a couple of posts using an "8" to replace it. Well the new Thinkpad, seems to be missing key strikes all over the place--although the "I" tends to work fine. really, really, really don't want to have to send my new notebook back to IBM. Fr one thing, that would put me back on my %$#$#@ Dell. Somewhere n my dusty,aged memory bank I recall having this problem previously with a notebook computer, until one of my good techie friends sat down and did one of those quick, magical things that techies sometimes do.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Please help me. I'll be your friend forever. I promise.
