Description
I am so sorry but I think my motherboard is failing. I am going to have to be off pretty soon to find someone to fix my machine for me. Never had a problem with my Gateways, in fact the last one is still running like a champ at 7 years old...this Dell has caused me problems from the 1st year.
Going to backup all my files to my external hardDrive and that should take a few days at least....gigabytes of stuff to copy. I'm also going to call Dell and give them a hard time because I've heard that they know they have problems with their motherboards.
Worst time to crash during the Halloween season. I have a few images in production that I can't finish because Vue6I, Poser6, PSPXI, DazStudio, Hexagon2 won't open....only Bryce and XaraXtreme will.
I thought this just happened but I think it's been happening. Vue went from opening full screen to opening in a tiny window which I had to expand. Been happening for months.
I opened my computer today and blew it out. All the fans are running fine and all cards are seated. Scan disc, defrag, Adware, Spybot, Antivirus, etc, etc....all done and nothing found. Time to get everything copied and get this piece of junk fixed.
Thank you everyone for the suggestions and sympathies. I truly appreciate it. I won't be around to comment...yet again...sorry. I'm so unhappy that this had to happen right now when I'm so busy :(
Anyhoo, hope you all have a wonderful Halloween (my fave holiday) and scare lots of little kiddies :)

Excellent halloween atmosphere! very creepy and so well composed!
Oh Nancy this is such an adorable scene! Wonderfully and beautifully done-as always:o) Excellent work. Sorry you are having so much trouble. My husband has a Dell and has had trouble with it. Even though dell says it has a a great support, they can be impatient and struppy. So don't let them give you the run around. :o) Hope you can get straightened out.
Fabulous scene! well done and please keep gonig you good work >>>>>>>>>>>>>>(^__^)<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Beautiful, beautiful Mood!!!
Brilliant and imaginative Nancy! Sweet, humourous and scary at the same time. Sorry to hear of your computer troubles. I had one cash out on me quiet unexpectedly about a year-and-a-half ago. Good luck.

Fantastic composition and atmosphere, Nancy!!! Superb image!!!
Fantastic work Nancy' always a pleasure to see what you come up with' I love the story book style...............5+++ as ever........ Hope you get the PC back up to Scratch.........Happy Holiday if I dont hear from you Before then...............
I saw that movie! nice work, great atmosphere! sorry to hear of your puter problems... hope you work them out soon.
I'm sorry to read about the computer problems ... I know how much Halloween means to you judging from past images that commemorate the season. You and your computer are in my thoughts. Excellent image ... you're the master (mistress) of Bryce for sure. Hugz 'n good luck.
Not only excellent but also adorable ~ beautifully done!! Sorry about your computer woes...hope you get things up and running smoothly soon.
It sounds like you are haveing a rather scary time yourself. This is a fine spooky looking piece of work.
Excellent image... Does your DELL computer include a diagnostic disk that you can run against your system? It should run a series of tests on your ram, hard drive, video card, etc and tell you if it thinks a component maybe failing...
Awesome pic! As for the computer, definitely sounds like you may be having some hardware issues. Could be the motherboard or even memory stick going bad. I would definitely get on Dell's case about it.
A hard time ahead Nancy... but soon everything will work again surely. And so glad you can upload! Great this Halloween scene, if I were that child I'll think twice.
That's one brave little tyke! Awesome scene Nancy! But with as little fear as this wee one has, it may be the homeowner that's gonna need some nerves! ;) Sorry to hear of your continuing computer problems! Best of luck getting it resolved! Maybe Dell needs a little Trick or Treat!
Wow a picture of my house.Just kidding nice work
Excellent Halloween artistry. Any picture that makes me restrain myself from yelling "Child, get away from there!" is definitely a Top Drawer Effort. Good Luck with getting your computer problems fixed.
Nicely done
Spooky & fun render here Nancy. Too bad about your PC. I assume (if it's an XP) that you tried "System Restore"? Your probably right about the mother board assuming your using the Graphics chips on the mother board as opposed to a graphics card. Anyway, if I can help, let me know. Hugs from Dave :^)
Love the render - very spooky! Sorry to hear of all your computer problems. My hubby is going through the same mess.
If it's just a motherboard that's not too bad and you won't lose your info but it's better to be safe-Good luck
My deepest sympathies for you and your mom, I lost mine last week. Excellent image. Did you get the dell gold warranty, if so they may come to you for service. Anyway best of luck on both fronts.
good luck burpee!!
Looks like a normal house to me! ;-) ooooooh.
Very serious fog (smog ?) to go trick or treating in, you could easily get lost and not find your way home...Bwwwaaaahaha ! Kool Halloween scene and I hope you can get your PC up to speed once more ! LOL & ~Cheers~ :o)
DLG... Great render!!! Love the gold spooky colour and the little guy!! Believe it or not the same happened to me few day ago. CD drive stuck OS not starting after few reboots(Windows!!) everything got screwed up.... So thats it; I bought a Mac tired of windows big time!!!!
