No Problemo, just uninstall or reinstall following the directions this time and the problem is all gone, maybe. If you donÆt see a blue screen again you are golden. Most blue screen of death experiences fall in the technical realm of head scratchers. Also known as the FIIK syndrome (Frack If I Know, for you Battlestar Galactica fans). My most recent BSOD experience fell in the FIIK category. In the past I have had memory blue screen of death issues. A bad sector on the hard drive and a memory module that aged poorly. Both are fairly easy to fix. For the hard drive the old reliable check disk utility ferreted out the culprit and marked the bad sector. For the memory bug, well I had to bite the bullet and buy a new memory module. This new one was a lot cheaper and larger than the old one, so it was less painful. Unfortunately, my latest BSOD was not one, but a series of BSODÆs. This would be called a reoccurring FIIK situation. During the battle, I minimalized the laptop. Deleting every seldom used program. Virus scanning was a daily chore with QQROB, a seemingly docile little bug discovered and chased all over the hard drive. I managed to corner QQROB during a concerted search and destroy effort and deleted the rascal. Or so I thought. QQ is a sneaky little rapscallion that must have tucked itself into a cozy little corner of memory or the hard drive. Finally, I gave in to QQROB and just let the virus software block the little à devil. Just yesterday morning I awoke and fired up the little HP laptop to check my Spam, I mean email. My computer was stuck in a infinite loop. It would start and just as it was time for the operating system to kick in, my once trusty HP defaulted to the select boot device drive and quickly restarted. While I am sure there is a computer guru that could have repaired this minor problem, I personally had had enough. Falling back on my vast knowledge of MSDOS, I used a system CD disk that I had created to load the basic command. com on my ailing computer and repartitioned my hard drive. This a very quick and effective method for destroying everything on your hard drive. This would not be recommended if you have information on the drive you are fond of. I was much more concerned with killing the little QQROBà. Bugger, than saving any data. Certain that QQROB was a thing in my past, I blew the dust off the system recovery CDÆs and started to reinstall everything on the old HP. With the condition of the recovery

an
abstract
triptych
that
I
found
while
I
was
in
Atlanta
buying
religious
paintings
The
piece
was
called
Guardian
Angel
and
I
love
it
My
patrons
fell
in
love
with
it
as
well
They
have
asked
me
to
track
down
the
artist
and
see
if
he
has
anymore
religious
paintings
available
The
only
religious
paintings
that
I
actually
do
not
buy
are
ones
that
reflect
the
image
of
Jesus
on
the
cross
I
don’t
have
a
problem
with
them
some
of
them
are
extremely
well

and
would
more

likely
sell
well

my

made
it
very
clear

Ajello
Candles
The
motto
of
the
Ajello
Candle
Company
is
“It’s
better
to
light
a
candle
than
to
curse
the
darkness”
This
candle
making
company
has
been
in
business
since
1775
The
business
has
been
family
owned
for
seven
generations
The
candles
from
Ajello’s
are
well
known
for
their
beauty
and
quality
While
they
make
more
candles
now
than
in
1775
their
dedication
to
quality
and
to
customers
has
never
changed
The
Ajello
Candle
Company
was
founded
by
Rafael
Ajello
an
Italian
painter
He
was
also
a
beekeeper
so
he
tried
his
hand
at
using
bees
wax
to
create
candles
He
worked
hard
to
create
a
formula
that
worked
well
The
formula
combined
with
his
outstanding
artistic
ability
lead
to
the
birth
of
the
Ajello
Candle
Company
In
1785
the
company
earned
the
honor
of
creating
all
the
candles
for
the
Vatican
He
and
his
wife
ran
the
business
keeping
their
children
involved
in
the
processes
from
an
early
age
As
time
went
on
their
children
and
grandchildren
kept
the
business
running
as
well
as
passed
the
family
business
on
to
their
children
By
1862
the
company
had
established
itself
as
a
leader
among
the
candle
making
industry
They
had
also
added
perfumes
and
