Fun and Games

Ok. So everybody has been asking me when I am going to be putting up a new post. Here it is. I really haven't felt like writing for a while but I have noticed that people have been coming back to check if I have. Thankyou!

Now for the show.

Two days ago, something happened to the computer that I thought couldn't happen.

The start button on the task bar was missing.

Missing!

If you press the start key on the keyboard, the start menu does not come up.

Basically, anything on the taskbar has the potential to disappear.

So I search Google to try and find a solution. I was told to try the System File Checker to repair windows and to replace corrupted files. It worked.

Happened to you?

Press start+r on the keyboard

Type in SFC /scannow

You will need to have your Windows disk ready incase it has to replace some files.

After it has finished, restart your computer.

Done!

What else...

I am obsessed with Mahjong. I have been playing a version on the internet which is very good.

I saw some advertisements underneath the game for a downloadable version called

Mahjong Escape - Ancient Japan

It is such a good game. You go up levels, each one being more difficult and with more tiles. The layouts are different each time too. I'm not even half-way through the game and the time to clear the board takes so long.

This game is not for the impatient.

Moving on...

My family and I played Scrabble last night. Dad won both games.

Highlights

Stephen put down the word AQUA and I built on to form AQUATIC.

I then said to Stephen, "It's a shame you didn't have an A, Q, U, T, I, C and S. You could have got 50 points."

Mum said, "There's no such thing as AQUATICS."

It was Dad's turn after mine and he put on a S at the end of AQUATIC. We checked in the dictionary and it was right. There was such thing. It means water sports. So Dad got a high score from Stephen and I. From then on, I shut my mouth.

Dad put the word DUNK on the Triple Word Score tile going downwards. On my turn, I built onto it to form DUNKABLE which hit the Triple Word Score underneath the first. It wasn't in our dictionary, so I ran to the computer and it was on the dictionary on the net. I got such a great score. YAY.

That's all I can think of for now.

Signing off.
