Hi all,

Well folks, Saturday night, I was off the computer again. I have a ham 
radio, and when my computer is plugged into the surge protector, it 
terribly causes a noise so bad, that I can't hear anything on my radio.

So, I unplugged the computer from the surge protector, and used the 
radio, and I pressed the wrong button on the radio, so it would not 
work, unfortunately, by accident, so, I had to go back into the manual 
for the radio. So, I could learn how to correct the problem.

So, I plugged my computer back into the surge protector, then, turned on 
the computer, and thought, "ok, so I'll have speech, and get into this 
radios manual." Wrong, when I turned on the computer, again, I had no 
sound from the sound card. So, I called my computer guy, Rick, here in 
town, and he came over and got the computer, and took it home, and he 
called me, and I told him, "Rick, try doing what I did, do a regular 
shut down, and unplug the computer from the outlet. So, he did, and what 
do ya know. It went from speakers, to the monitor, by itself. Windows, 
reset itself. So, he fixed it, and got it so it only turned on the 
speakers. So, I have learned, unfortunately, that I cannot unplug my 
computer from an outlet, whether on a surge protector, or, from the wall 
outlet, (I strongly recommend that all computer users, plug their 
computer into a surge protector). I can, however, unplug the power cord 
from the back of the computer, and it's fine.

Anyone ever have that problem?

So, I did what I usually do, made a note of it in my computer notebook 
folder.

Harry, who is just happy to be back on the computer!
