A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Ask Mr. Gremelin Email works on desktop /not laptop

My laptop suddenly quit working in the email..Yahoo.
However the desktop is fine. Any ideas whY??

Thanks dodge

I got it working again/

Shut it down like I forgotten to do.. Restarted fine.

Thanks

So glad to hear that, Barb----

Sadly, with computers, more times than not, restarting can fix just about everything ;).

Thanks Mr Gizmo.........actually the laptop is more cooperative thann desk? Why?

Not sure, could be any number of things, maybe a bad sector on the disk drive, could be a bad sector in the memory, could be something screwy with the operating system itself, any number of factors...

That's why it's a good idea to defrag/scandisk, virus scan, malware scan on a regular basis (though those wouldn't check for a memory fault, that's far more complicated lol)
