Irksome Microsoft Event

[image error]

I decided to do something different this morning with my exercise program. Rather than turn on the TV (and satellite and DVD--they're all on the same surge protector, which I turn off each night) I plugged in my laptop and popped in the exercise DVD. All seemed just fine, until a third of the way along when the picture went blank--no sound.

A message on the laptop screen informed me that Microsoft was updating my system "Please Wait." A few seconds later the machine rebooted itself.

I was rather aggravated with this irksome event and flipped the switch for the 3-part TV system. When the laptop chimed its "I'm ready" jingle, it didn't return me to the DVD with which I'd been stretching and moving, so I removed the disc and proceeded as I always do--with the TV/dish/DVD.

Although my morning routine was slightly askew, I'm glad this happened. I plan to take the laptop to the Art show I'm in this weekend. There I will connect to the Internet and my online gallery with hopes customers will make orders at this site that produces my work in a variety of sizes--even on canvas!-- matted and/or framed. Now I am aware that some Microsoft functionality event might snafu the page. At least I'll know what's happening if it happens.
