Welcome To My World

Life is a beach! ;)

Make My Day!

I was tickled pink yesterday when my son, who is in the Air Force in Florida, called me to ask why his computer wouldn't recognize his new memory.  He could have called his techie buddies at work, but chose to call me. It pleased me to no end that he's finally realizing his mother ain't so dumb after all. LOL.

So I asked him if he had installed the memory stick at a 45 degree angle and pushed the stick hard enough to hear it click and to make sure the end enclosures were up and hugging the end of the stick.  He said yes.

So I said, ok, restart your computer, wait 30 seconds and let's see.  He did and it still didn't recognize his new memory.  I said ok, open your tower again and just make sure your stick is pushed down all the way.

When he went to do that, he discovered the one of the white enclosures on the end was not closed and that one end of the memory stick wasn't seated properly.  So he pushed until he heard it click and made sure the white enclosure was hugging the end of the stick, restarted and VOILA!  He now has 1 Gig of memory!

And now he knows what to check the next time he wants to install more memory.
