Reboot your machine.
When was the last time you saw somebody using personal computer with Windows XP running on it? Decade ago ? Maybe. In the recent times, I vacationed at remote towns in the country, one fine morning, I was at hotel to buy breakfast (takeaway) as I decided to have breakfast in the room itself. I placed my order & I received my counterfoils to hand it over at the takeaway counter. I walked up to the counter, and the man himself at the counter was busy fiddling with ethernet cable(a network cable). It was a CRT monitor with Windows XP running on it,I just glanced at the monitor, network disconnected error messages were popping up intermittently.
By then I understood why he was plugging the cable in & out. He had enough trials on it. Further he looked clueless about the network issue. He needed to launch inhouse portal to enter the data of takeaway items for tracking. It did seem to me like I may not get my parcel If this issue doesn't get resolved, I just asked, can I take a look at the problem once?,he just smiled at me & said OK. I bent down to scan the rear section of CPU and plugged out & in the network cable once to check if that solves the problem, but it didn't.
Network port seemed fine to me. I'm always under the impression that if something goes wrong inside the computer, it can be fixed by a reboot and mostly it works and can't guess why in particular apart from the basic reasons like bringing the system to its original state & resetting all over. Keeping this in mind, I suggested him to reboot it, but he was busy speaking to somebody in the kitchen to get the food ready for the customers, so he asked me to go and take the control to fix the problem. I did a reboot of the system considering it as a only viable option then. Reboot just alleviated the problem. The error messages seemed to disappeared. He smiled & thanked me. Later he began to enter the data on the system.
It would be so nice if we have solutions like reboot in life as well for all the problems that we encounter. :)
