So here it is a while back Chrome became my go to browser, it was great then it went in the toilet. It hangs it freezes and that is on a good day!
Then suddenly the clouds parted and the sun came out, the birds were chirping and Chrome was great again. Running better than ever! Not sure why but, never look a gift horse in the mouth!
Then it happened! My wife's FB account was suddenly in Spanish. At this point maybe I should tell you, I DO NOT SPEAK SPANISH! However ever confident this jock who never made it past typing one and was threatened by my typing teacher that if I took typing two he would fail me the first week!! Could fix the problem.
I guess at this point I should reveal I never touched a PC keyboard until my kids wanted their first, in 1995! So at Christmas we bought the first PC our household had seen. I begged my wife who had schooling in computers and who went to college and also worked using a computer! Anyway back to the story, I asked her to help me learn how to run a PC.
She showed me the basics of Windows 95. The program on our first PC and then she told me the only way to learn was to get on their and do it! Well I found myself places I had no idea how I got there but I kept trying! My first PC came with a reboot disc and thank God, as I crashed it so many times it was ridiculous! However learn I did and I have got to the point I may not be able to solve a problem the first try but, I usually do triumph!
Now back to the FB problem again. I finally went to a translation site and transferred key words like setting and language! In my quest to solve the problem I re-set settings of Chrome back to the default settings.
Did not help the FB problems but, I did finally figure out that language is idioma in Spanish! I eventually solved the FB problem.
Little did I know that by re-setting the settings on Chrome to default, it put me back in the crapper again. Freezes and slow working is just the language of the day, AGAIN! Now I know some are going to say well all you got to do is update. There in lays the probable. You see I told you I had learned, I also learned their are some really bad viruses out there and one killed my last PC!! Please listen for the little violin playing the death song!!!
My son in law had a small PC he used for college and I could use it as he was no longer using it!! The clouds parted once more and the birds sang. Then came the day he brought it too me and helped me set it up. That is when I discovered this is one of these you can use this but,..............it has this little problem!! You see I always thought Apple computers were better so I bought this one for school and then I discovered that to get on-line and do my courses for college that all of their courses were ran by Windows. So I took a disk I got for Windows 7 and installed it to run the courses. So when it says you may be a victim of a not so genuine copy of Windows and it asks you if you want to legitimize it and do updates. Well...............you can't update and unless you want to pay for the legitimizing of the old copy of Windows and.......................yep you are now getting the idea!!
So now here is sit trying to deal with freezes again and sloooooooooooooowness. I am now trying to remember how I found the fix for Chrome last time!!! I feel kind of like the old country song, Money can't buy you happiness but, it could buy me a new PC.
To think I almost took Spanish in HS instead of typing. That must be and oxymoron!! Oh wait a minute that wasn't typing the was English........I think!!
Gotta go now and punch a few more keys and see if I can fix Chrome or should I just go mix up some Lye in a bucket and drop this PC in it!!!
