Recent Windows Update

November 17, 2007 – 11:49 am | by jaygaulardcom

I run Windows Vista. It’s ok. I am not the kind of guy who goes nuts over operating systems out there. I am sure there are some great features with other ones, but I needed a computer because I have work to do.

I have been pretty happy with Windows Vista, although there are some strange things that never seem to work correctly, like ActiveSync. I am not sure why Microsoft can’t seem to get this right. I am running a Microsoft operating system and running Windows Mobile on my PDA. Why is it that I have to break the relationship every so often, because the phone refuses to sync with the computer? I have no idea.

Recently, I purchased Outlook 2007 and installed it. At about the same time, my computer restarted itself to finish installing the most recent updates. Ever since then, whenever the computer goes into sleep mode, I can’t wake it up by shaking the mouse. I used to be able to do this. Now, I have to give the power button a quick push to wake it up. That’s fine, but what happened?

It just puzzles me that it is always a guessing game with what’s going to happen when I install some software or update existing software made by the same people.
