Monday morning when I turned on my lap top the screen was dim after boot up. The usual attempts to make adjustment yielded negative results, also other function would not work. With all else failed to fix the problem I shut down the machine removed the battery and then reinstalled the battery and powered it back up. Same results. I attempted to do System Restore and it could not find the utility. When all else failed I restored the machine back to factory original using the backup discs. This took care of the problem since I re-installed the driver etc. The machine functions fine and I am still loading on all the stuff that was lost in the process. LOML asked me what happened and I told her that I had no idea but remarked that the machine is 7 years old and maybe I had some sort of a hardware failure that caused the systems files to become corrupted. IT didn't act like any kind of a virus so. It is an HP Compac with 2 G memory a 300 G Hard drive running WIN 7. I have been reluctant to replace it simply because it works.
This morning my CFO (my wife) said since I need a reliable machine for my business why don't I get a new lap top. She asked me to try to keep the price down. So I am looking for input. Before it comes up don't even bother suggesting an Apple . I won't go into the reasons but iit is not an option.
Needs include WIN 10, Touch screen, WIFI if I can get 5G WIFI that would be nice since my home network has that as an option. Other than that I am open to suggestions.'
