good moirning Dàve and Dad.
Good morning Chip, and Dean... I hope you guys are doing ok..!
Morning Dad, good to hear from you.  Thought maybe you had filled that Windows 8 full of bullet holes  :)
I'm finally starting to get used to Windows 8.1.  But it's hard for me to say app rather than saying I need a program.  I downloaded a solitary game which was fun until I found out at the end, it was missing 3 cards and I couldn't win the game.  How in the hell can someone release a card game with 3 cards missing...?
Solitary?  Sounds like a game I would want to avoid.

I bought a Dell all in One computer which is rather nice.  It doesn't take up hardly any room at all.  My wife's Toshiba laptop had a hard drive failure.  I bought a new hard drive for it, and followed Toshiba's instructions on installing the Windows 7 back up files.  Very simple and easy.  The only problem is, "the back up drivers are not signed, and Windows will not run unsigned drivers."  If I press F8 and select, "run without signed drivers," it' runs great, except it will not update Windows 7.  I checked on line and there must be a 1000 of complaints about Toshiba and their unsigned drivers.  Toshiba says, "go on our website and download the latest drivers, but their latest driver are not signed either."  So my question is, "how the hell did they get the drivers to work in the first place...?"
F8?

I'll have to check my notes, but I believe it was, "Hold F8 while booting, and select run without signed drivers."  That's for Windows 7.  If you select the run without signed driver, the computer runs perfect.  But on a normal boot up, the computer will not load it's drivers.  So, no wireless Wi-Fi, no Windows Updates, Video defaults to some ungodly setting. ugh..!

Seems to be a lack of 'puter nerds, hence the issues. Morning, Mark.

Good point.  Most of us know enough to get by and to be dangerous when real issues arise. Bill Gate's fault.

You haven't insulted me yet so I'll bid you a good morning, Shaun.  You must be excited about the impending trip?

We got um they just sleep late like all puter nerds, Raz, Tony, Flip, CG and a few others.   I can always loan you the ones we got here at the office but has to be a sunny day they don't work in the rain, of course they can't fix chit either.
