An invalid argument was encountered.
I'll start at the beginning. The wireless card in this Dell lap top died. Rather than replace the card itself a wireless adapter was recommended. It's a little plug like apparatus that fits into a USB port. If you have a wireless mouse, pretty much the same thing. It's a very simple set up, voilia' wireless connection, except.
Every time I transfer pictures from our camera to the lap top the connection drops.
Then, when I try to reconnect "An Invalid Argument Was Encountered" window pops up, over and over and over again. This just happened and I cancelled out about 30 windows. As fast I clicked the X to close one, another appeared. I was able to stop it when I shut the computer down. Of course, I closed everything.
An invalid argument? I'm stumped. Does this mean something in the computer is having an argument with something else? Or they're trying to have an argument but can't? This would be like me and Wanda having an argument only one of us isn't participating. Sorry Charlie, your argument is invalid.
In trying to figure this out I Goggled the message. Here is the crystal clear information I found.
Did you make any changes to your computer prior to this issue?

Hope this information helps.
We have an Olympus camera. My son-in-law Tim told me we went from the easiest (Kodak Easy Share) to one of the most difficult (Olympus) photo programs. I believe him. The camera itself is easy to operate. The software isn't.
I could follow the instructions listed above but I have a much better idea. Restarting the computer works just fine. I'll do that.
I've come to the conclusion computer software is much like a playground full of bullies. None of the kids want to play together nice.
My prescription was finally approved, six days after I took it in. I drove up to Safeway this morning to pick it up. While there I was going to get a box of wet cat food pouches for Sparky Lee, the backyard cat. I also wanted to treat myself and get a latte'. When waiting for the drink I got a very strong craving for a maple old fashioned doughnut.
I was walking toward the bakery when the angel on my shoulder said, "Hey, stupid, you need a doughnut like a hole in the head. Don't try to fool me, I'm your conscience and I know you'll get two." Then the devil on my other shoulder said, "Screw him, go ahead, you've lost ten pounds, get a couple doughnuts."
While these entities on my shoulder were having a valid argument my brain said, "Stop, you are going on a cruise. You are going to eat cookies, and cake, and ice cream, and pie and doughnuts. You can wait a few days." So, I turned around left the bakery and walked to the pharmacy for my pills.
I went to Safeway for the prescription and cat food. I got the prescription and a latte'. I must have used all of my brain power arguing with myself over the doughnuts.
As I was leaving the store I glanced over at the Burger King and remembered the cat food. Coincidence? Maybe.
More news of the day.
A woman says she found an old boyfriend living in the attic of her home after he was released from jail recently.
The woman, who asked not to be identified, said she heard strange noises when she and her five children returned home Saturday. She says the noises increased early Sunday morning and she asked a nephew to check the attic.
He found a man sleeping in a heating unit.
The woman says she had broken off a relationship with the man years ago, though he had done some work on her home about a year ago.
She says the man climbed out of the attic and walked away before police arrived......I guess when it's cold out a heating unit is an ideal place to sleep.
Police in Miami Beach say a homeless man broke into a car, stole a credit card and then tried to use it to buy a beer -- from the bartender the card belonged to.
The case was cracked when 53-year-old David Weber handed the card to the bartender who took his order Monday night. The Miami Herald reports the bartender noticed he had just been handed his own credit card.
The bartender called Miami Beach police. Weber was charged with credit card fraud and theft. He remained in the Miami-Dade County Jail early Wednesday.
Police say Weber told them he found the credit card on the ground.
.....A homeless guy finds, or steals, a credit card and beer is the first thing he buys. Makes sense to me.
A man who set a couch on fire in his apartment after an argument with another tenant has been sentenced to two years in prison.
Court documents say a witness told police that another tenant in the building had earlier yelled at Miller about loud music from his basement apartment and struck Miller in the face.
The witness told officers that after the tenant left, Miller set the couch on fire and left. Police say he was intoxicated.......What a surprise.
Authorities say Miller raised suspicions when he returned to the scene with a fire extinguisher......he set a couch IN HIS APARTMENT on fire, that's about as stupid as you can get. Hey, if you don't like my loud music, I'll set my furniture on fire, that will show you. He's going to be locked up for a couple of years. He won't need the couch.
This may, or may not be, the final entry until we get back from Alaska. Check here or Face Book, I sure appreciate it. Thanks for reading the blog.
