hi jerome, i'm still dubious with on-line back-ups as i have some sensitive stuff on there. my brother got caught with identity thieves so i'm really dubious with certain details, so what i'm asking is, how secure are they and would you trust them?

hi beamer is WD Mybook a make of external hard drive? as i've not heard of them. but i'll check them out on-line.

hi tony, great song sung with lots of emotion, loved the chord progression. phill

thanks for the advice, but i find buying new with a guarantee is usually the best way to go, i've found some 1 and 2 TB HD's for less than 100 pounds, that looks good to me, i quite fancy a samsung, i'm still looking and comparing, i'm a little afraid to hook up the old one in case it kills my PC again. it's a packard bell and i've tried getting on their site but end up running round like a head-less chicken. info is hard to come by it seems.

hi nela, it wouldn't work with the misses, she follows the plastic bill like a hawk. anyway, got the laptop un-crashed, and went through my X-HD and deleted everything but what songs, stories and music that were left on it. it looks like it hasn't been backing up those files for quite a while as everything was a few years old, none of the new stuff! i've got hard copies of all my songs, but the stories are all gone. ah well, we tried.

thanks again doug and all that tried to help, it's much appreciated.

hi 77, welcome, i'm not dyslexic, though you wouldn't think it, it took me 4 tries to get dyslexic right! i learnt my chords from chord windows when i started playing, in those days you had to buy a book (as opposed to the net). the one i got was "tune in a day" and it showed you how to play various standards. after learning the shapes i learnt the symbols (chord names) eg A-D-E etc.

at 15 i would race home from work and learn a new key, unlike most on chordie i found G to be my nemesis. i've got it now as most of what i do is in the key of G!

maybe it's because i was a motor mechanic that i never suffered with bleeding fingers!

keep at it and you will get there.

thanks again for the advice, hi kap me too, i muddle through pressing everything until it either works or tells me to walk away in jerking motions! (hope that's not too specific, but i've been frustrated by this thing for hours) i've finally found the drivers for the wireless router, after downloading god knows how many "free" fixes. why do they say it's free when they want to charge X amount to fix stuff. they should put the cost at the start not when you've downloaded and run through everything. enough of the rant.

as advised, i shall hook the external drive to an old XP laptop and see if there's anything there.

thanks phill

thanks amy, doug, i had an external HD, and now i'm thinking about it i kept getting warning flashes up that it was full so no room to back-up!!!! idiot that i am i just ignored it, so i'm thinking now that that was my problem! so i've now disconnected the drive, and i'm thinking about formatting it from an old lap top i have. my PC seems to be running well without whatever was backed-up on there, so there cant be anything vital on there? i shall wait for confirmation from (obviously) more PC minded persons before re-connecting the external HD or formatting it. please tell me i dont need to spend more money on a new one?

the avast got deleted with everything else....but i've re-installed it now.

thanks for the advice cos i'm just a key plugger and techy stuff is a little beyond my aging brain cells.

thanks russ.

hi doug,  i managed to get it going in safe mode, and ran system restore several times, then when i got to the end of my tether, i put in the windows disk and let it run....when it finished there was a blank canvass, just the basic windows stuff. i've had to down load the programs i already had on there, but as i said my songs, poems and stories have gone. i did download a program from c-net (cant remember what it was called) but it only found 2 windows programs. i'm hoping someone knows of a better program they can recommend?

i had avast running at the time, so i dont understand how it got in, piggy back maybe?

phill

nice one jerome, i like it. when my PC recovers properly from the crash it just had i'm hoping you'll have recorded it.

going back to the original theme; a lot of people use chordie just to get chords for some song they might want to have a go at, that's how i found chordie. the only time these people will post is when they are looking for a song that is not listed or they're having trouble getting their song book to display on their tablet, does this sound like a moan? it's meant to!

as doug mentions, social networking sites have their uses and they also are rife with pests so i wont bother with them.

as a mod i've had to warn certain members to curb their language and attitude. lets keep it friendly and helpful.

that is truly amazing
