I fail at driver installing. I googled the correct driver for the monitor, downloaded it, installed it as per instructions, and still had no joy. After changing the monitors around multiple times I've given up for now. *is a tech idiot*

James is at work today, so sadly I'm stuck in the house. Which is fine as we were out yesterday. We took mam out and had a lovely day. Going to sheep land to play in the ford, then Corey and I explored along the bank of the stream and left the car far behind. After that we bought potatoes from the farm where they leave them in bags on the wall and trust you to leave the money, then onto Barnard Castle where we ate fish and chips in the park. Then finally a visit to feed the deers and onto my brothers where we gave Hallie her Easter gifts. She's so gorgeous, but man, so heavy now. She's got five teeth and huge blue eyes and is such a lovely girl. Though she's at that baby stage of wacking at you and tugging hair. You can tell she takes after her dad *g*

In other news, I know where I'm going with Remix and have written a whole 200 words. The first idea I had would have worked out far too long and complex, but I've chopped at it and figure what I have now will do nicely. Which is the signal for my betas to hide before I start throwing words at them.

It's Choey day tomorrow and I have nothing....sigh. This continues my trend of utterly failing to provide anything for the paring days. Though to be truthful I did have something for JuC day. However it was so bad it was best left hidden. I do sort of have a plan though.

Anyway, that's all I've got to share this lovely bank holiday Monday.

It was a lovely day, though I had guilt about blowing the in laws off. But our car just wasn't big enough for everyone.

I'm so cheating with my plan. But I have faith in you, I'm sure you'll get a plan too!

Wow!

Hey, sounds like you had fun yesterday *g*

I meant to ask, a member of the French Posse gave me bunch of House episodes and I was wondering if you had some slash recs? I'm thinking, well, anything having to do with Chase, actually, is what I'm thinking. I've read a couple of fics already - House/Chase/Wilson and some pretty hot Foreman/Chase - and I wouldn't mind more. So would you have any? I guess I'll ask he flist as well but since I'm here. And also, if there's someone whose taste I trust more than you... well, I actually haven't met them yet lol

Wow!

I know! That's so rare these days but people do leave the money as I've seen it in the tub.

Chase! I love Chase! And I do have recs *g* I'll gather them for you as soon as finish the newsletter.

I wonder if the resolution/refresh rate is set to one that worked on the temp monitor but not the flat panel. Do you still have the temp monitor? If so, can you set it to 1024x768 resolution, refresh rate of 60, and then put the flat panel on, see if that makes any difference?

To do that:
Right-click on the desktop and pick Properties.
Click the Settings Tab.
The little slider near the middle on the left--slide it until it says 1024x768.
Click Apply.
Click the Advanced button near the bottom right.
Choose the Monitor tab, and set the refresh rate to something low.
Click OK.

Shut 'er down, and put the flat panel back on.

If it works, you may want to set the resolution and stuff higher afterwards? Depends on what you're used to and what the monitor can do.
