Part of travelling usually means visiting where you left (it’s all part of a return trip, right)? Well back on November 7th, I brought you the Gatwick oops. I got to revisit Gatwick on the following Saturday the 14th and was hoping to see some changes. Guess what, changes did I see – only worse!!!
First, lets take the monitor with the Windows XP screensaver. It was upstairs next to Dixon’s. Guess what, still there:
Good location to put your first faux paux guys…right next to the IT store ha ha!
OK, that’s not too bad (however, has anyone mentioned to them Windows XP Support is EOL?) There’s a Windows 7 upgrade opportunity – I can help if you need 
Let’s look at the second problem – FidsMon.exe crashing. You’d have thought that the monitor that had it broken a week ago would have it fixed, wouldn’t you? Nope:
In fact, there was another monitor which had the same issue only it was in between screens which meant the times were broken, but I wasn’t too bothered to get a screen capture of the same thing twice as there were other fish frying (as you read on)…
Problemo numero three…A monitor in limbo. OK, so I know you can put your monitor to sleep (there were quite a few of these around), however this monitor was as if someone remote controlled it (probably to kill a FidsMon error) and then just left it as if they were going to be late going home and traffic on the M25 was going to get them out:
Yep, that’s it, just a cursor on the right screen…again, the start button and system tray icons and system bar all visible to the world. Not too smart guys. Ok, so three down, how about we find yet another one…Another one you ask? Yep, there is more.
Every chance I get, living on an island without McDonald’s, I snap at the opportunity to get a Quarter Pounder with Cheese (large naturally)…actually there’s another blog post about that waiting, but for now, back to the story. I proceeded up to Ronald’s house on the second floor (there’s a +1 about Gatwick – they’ve recently put McDonalds in the South Departures Lounge. It used to be in the public area of the North Terminal, but now it is in a much better place 
). At any rate, up to McDonalds to get my Quarter Pounder, and right in front of me there it was:
BANG, a Blue Screen. Note: BSOD would not be the right phrase to use here as BSOD actually means Black Screen of Death, back in the early Windows days. So, at any rate, there she was looking straight at me, a win32k.sys error with stop codes and all. “A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.” (well really it blue screened long enough for us to deduce this:
More likely than not this one is memory related, however you can always reinstall (or upgrade to Windows 7 so your OS is supported ). So, there’s your free support for the day BAA…if you need more help, we’re here and can help
