[altman]

Glad that it finally worked out for ouy .

Wonder what happened there .

[Bart]

I did a reload of Linuxlite now the 10 key pad works.

Hello!

Seeing as so many businesses just switched from Windows XP to Windows 7, I don't see 7 going anywhere for a while. The next Windows OS to go away will be Vista - which probably won't go away at least until after they release Windows 10 later this year.

Once you add Service Packs 1 and 2, Windows Vista isn't that bad an OS...

Hey cool !

[Bart]

Prior to Sync I used X Marks & still do same thing works great.

It s a good idea , take your time , no hurry .

I love the idea of having 2-3 computers , if one gets screwed up somehow , one always has a backup .

By the way , if you use firefox , you can always have all your bookmarks & most every settings back with their Sync Now feature .under Tools . Believe me , I use it often after reinstalls . ! lol

[Bart]

OK but I'm not jumping on this right away.  I'll probably put my E-mail accounts & other info I need onto my Toshiba I really like the Toshiba better than the Acer & want to put a T-bite Hard drive in it & jump from 4 gigs ram to 8 gigs ram split the drive & put W7 on 1/2 & Linux lite on the other 1/2. this way with all the up dates in the W7 side I can just keep using it for off line usage after Maxi Babble discontinues it. & use the Linux side for Internet & E-mail which is what i mostly use the Acer for now. Then with virtual-box I can put XP somewhere on the drive so I can run some of the older programs I have.

Let me know what you think of the above ideas.

Thanks so much for your help, Bart

oh , ok , missed that part I guess .

Might be a support issue or the netbook s numlocks don t work anymore , was it working on windows before installing Linux Lite !

What I would do is download another Linux Lite , burn it & reinstall , I know it s pain but I don t know if your iso s corrupted somehow .

32 or 64 bit , I don t remember .

Here s the download link : https://www.linuxliteos.com/download.html


As for the updates , I usually do it once a day , when I turn on the laptop , some update every weeks or so , it all depends on our preferences I guess .

The num locks light always comes on if the key is pushed but nothing works.

[Bart]

This isn't a case of just num locks the 10 key doesn't work at all.

[altman]

Wonder if it s the hardware that s not supported . I guess that for a little while you ll have to manually set Numlocks , on or off .

Yep , you wrote in mate . It s weird that it s doing this .

Remember that I had an Acer Aspire One years ago & had issues somehow , don t remember exactly what it was , sorry .

[Bart]

I don't remember if I told you this or not but when I boot up I can use the 10 key to put my pass word in but not afterwards.

[altman]

Think I found how to resize the fonts sizes ,

Go onto Menu , then Settings , then Window Manager , then go to Tittle Fonts , you ll see some numbers on the right end side , increase it to either 10 or 11 .

Let see what it will do .

[altman]

Don t give up !

I increased the size of the letters in the lower bar myself , just have to remember how I did it .

As for the numlocks , lets try this . Go to Menu , then Settings , to Settings Manager , go to Hardware , click on Keyboard , then Behavior ,  then check if Numlocks is ticked on .

As for the lettering size , I ll find it , give me a little while till I find it how .

Their s also the Accessibility in the Menu , then Settings , for enabling it , you gotta click on it & it will be on , on next reboot .

I give up..................I guess I have to use my Toshiba laptop love the computer worried about when W7 goes by the wayside. Love Linux 2.2 I think it could use some improvement, especially in the viability area for older people a little more brightness & larger font for the tool bars. This is probably my fault for not knowing how to change things .  Thanks very much for all your help, Bart
