XPfails – luggable – Outlook Lookout fails – Reminder left hanging
Wednesday, January 10, 2007Outlook gives me a reminder. Good. I click dismiss. Outlook transforms into LookOut and leaves a zero reminder hanging out. Eventually the performance degrades to unacceptable. Reboot. Argh!

XPfails – luggable – OUTLOOK
Tuesday, January 2, 2007Outlook, aka LookOut, takes an error in a reminder. It hangs up. Eventually performance goes to zero. And MSWORD locks up. Arghhh! Reboot required. Lost time ~30 minutes to close up and restart. And, about 2 hours running at reduced throughput. Arghh!

XPfails – luggable – WSOD is back
Sunday, December 31, 2006I was using NEO OBJECTS EIGHT to edit my web site for simplyaligned doe to emerge next month. The White Screen Of Death occurred with a short wait rebooted. Argh! I don’t now what I lost. I suspect I lost all the changes I had made, but not saved, to the new site.

XPfails – luggable – PAYTRUST website won’t authenticate
Friday, December 29, 2006I actually had to call their support and undergo a lot of pain “authenticating”. Will someone please tell me how knowing my details authenticates me? Now, if they said “we’ll call you back”, then I might believe it. Asking me my address and phone number and email address doesn’t “authenticate” squat.
And, don’t tell me you are “doing it for my protection”! That’s Barbara Striesand. They’re doing it for their protection.
No explanation of why it worked yesterday but not today. No explanation of why it didn’t work today. They want me to use IE (I don’t!) Telling me that their site is not “optimized” for Firefox or Opera.
PFooey.
And, that they were voted the best bill payment service. By who, their employees.
The only reason, I put up with this … (PayMyBills was acquired by the competitor Paytrust after I selected PMB over PayT. Subsequently acquired by Quicken.) … is that they are the only service that will receive a paper bill, scan it, and email me. And, they keep pushing ebilling!
Their idea of ebilling is that I do all the work and setup an online account with a biller. Then turn over all that authentication information to them so that they can then go pretend that they are me. I don’t think so!
Any way, if there was a competitor, I’d sure consider it.
Arghh!

XPfails – luggable – menus now invisible
Monday, December 25, 2006Argh! When you click on a menu like File or Tool, I have to run the mouse pointer down the menu to see all the choices. They are their buy just invisible. Once the pointer passes over them, they stay visible. A new for of microsoft security? I’ll reboot when I have time, but that’s a hassle. And, every once and awhile, I get a worse problem. Argh!

XPfails – luggable – mouse goes nuts!
Saturday, December 23, 2006For the last two days, the mouse has been screwed up. It would page down on its own. Wouldn’t double click. I reloaded the software for it several times. Rebooted innumerable times. Never figured out why, but it seems to be working now. Arghhh!

XPfails – luggable – general slowdown
Thursday, November 9, 2006Last night, rather early this morning, luggable came down with a case of the blahs. It seemed like everything went at a crawl. I had tapped on a link in an email (LOOKOUT?) and the FOX took forever to get to it. So, being the bright IT Guru I am, I nuke everything in sight that I thought was expendable. No improvement. So I hit the big red easy button (ALT-CNT-DEL) and SHUTDOWN. For some reason there is a difference between SHUTDOWN and RESTART. SHUTDOWN, I guess, does a real start from scratch AOT a quick restart, no scratch. Back up and running.
