Not enough space in my computer for updates

I got a message on my laptop the other day. It said there was not enough space left to allow important updates from Microsoft. Yet in checking the space left, I found I had at least 15.5 GBs. This seems more the enough. So whats going on?

Re: Why are you unhappy today?

I got this strange message on my phone while I was trying to charge it.
" Battery Temperure too low". Strange as it is nice and warm at the moment. What should I do?

Re: Why are you unhappy today?

I get lots of flyers in my mail box, despite having 2 stickers on the flap which clearly state no flyers and no free newpapers. Can´t people read or do they just ignore my instructions?

There was some pain a while ago and that is what took me to the doctor and then the scan. But since then , nothing. If the pain comes back again , I will have the gall bladder removed.

Re: Why are you unhappy today?

And now another health problem. Should I have my gall bladder removed? I had a recent ultra scan and was told my gall bladder was full of gall stones. Removing the organ was a recommendation. I will probably get it removed soon as I can function pretty well without it.

Re: Why are you unhappy today?

Sorry to hear that FrauFruit. I had a colonoscopy a few years ago, recommended cos dad died of bowel cancer, and the actual procedure was totally fine as they knocked me out briefly. But the drink prep was horrendous, 4 litres of that disgusting weird tasting solution throughout the night. I am not...

Sorry to here about that Frau Fruit. And you are right. Getting old is no fun, especially when you have been good at sport like I was.

Re: Why are you unhappy today? A colonoscopy

Had a colonoscopy yesterday. Not very nice. Seven polpys were found and removed so I am glad I did it. The worst part is not the examination itself, but rather the laxative that I had to take to clear the colon. I had to stay near the toilet to avoid any accidents. I was not happy. But I still maint...

What is going on here? The number of views is insanely high. It is nearly 50,000. How can such an ordinary post attract so much attention? Especially when there are many more interesting posts to be viewed.

Re: Where to get glare reducing sunglasses in Berlin

I also suffer from "Dry Eyes" and so when my current supply of eye drops run out , I will go back to Fielmanns to get some new ones. I trust them.

Re: Where to get glare reducing sunglasses in Berlin

Thanks for the replies. I went to Fielmanns as they were quite local. I was impressed by them. They encouraged me to try a few Polaroid glasses. With no pressure to buy or hurry up. They would have got into what sort of frames I wanted, but I cut them short as I am only interested in the glare reduc...

Where to get glare reducing sunglasses in Berlin

Recently I have found that strong sunlight hurts my eyes. So I went to my Optician and she said that I had begun to develope Cataracts in my eyes and this was quiet common for codgers of my age (70).She recommended Polaroid sunglasses to reduce the glare. Ordinary sunglasses merely darken sunlight ,...

Unable to click on a link

I booked a hotel with booking.com. Then I got a pre check in link, but sadly it did not work. So what should I do? The link was 3 lines long and so typing it in my address bar does not appeal to me.
Thanks

Re: Obituaries

What a great actress. As I post this , I am downloading The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. This gave her her first Oscar. It is a wonderful film and I recommend it to anyone to watch. I loved her later performances in Downton Abbey and the Harry Potter films. Simply irreplaceable.
