The laptop that I have used for my embroidery business died. It has been in the process since before Christmas. I have been getting warnings about the eminent failure of my hard drive. I had no energy or inclination to sit and work on the new desktop that I ordered as I am recovering from my knee replacement.
The last few days are the first that I am beginning to feel like I have the energy to do much beside exercise and rest. But, of course, by now, the hard drive had begun to make some very obnoxious sounds and yesterday.... it stopped working.
So I started the process of rebuilding my office computer on a new desktop computer that I ordered to be ready for this eventuality. I managed to get my indoor cameras up and running... with the help of my brother (Thanks, Andy). Then I managed to get my Office programs loaded into the machine and email up and running.
The embroidery program that I have been using, is another issue. The new computer uses Windows 8. The embroidery program is over 10 years old. As I tried installing it on the new desktop, I kept getting compatibility errors. So it is not going to work on this machine. I have downloaded a new, less expensive program that is being used by other embroidery owners. It is running nicely, but is totally different from the old one. It is going to be a learning curve for me! Guess I will be busy for the rest of the winter, learning how to make it work!
So, Bad News... my favorite program cannot run. Good News, I am preparing to replace it with something new to challenge my mind!
