Official SGT ADD thread

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Here's another DisneyMom distraction video.

Poor little guy.

This'll make up for the crying koala.

If the crying koala didn't take up DisneyMom's day this should.

Okay all you computer geeks, I need your help again. Got my external hard drive out of storage, bought the recovery disks. I follow the directions, and in the final phase of recovery, after updating is 100% and then restore gets to about 50%, the screen goes black and my netbook shuts down. Now what? In case you've forgotten, it's an Acer Apire One D255E netbook running Windows 10. It's been a remarkably reliable machine for the 7 years I've had it, and I don't have the money to fix or replace it.

Sounds like you system is timing out from lack of keyboard/mouse input. This is normal and good for a screensaver, abnormal and bad for a power shutdown. Still, given that it's a portable computer, it may default to shutdown after a period of idleness.

Check the settings for screensaver and powersaver times. If you can't get to that screen, then just wiggle the mouse every minute or two and see if that keeps things alive long enough.

Just hit the shift key. Never hit enter to keep it awake or wake it up, learned that the hard way about 18-19 years ago...
