My buddy's daughter bought a notebook computer and suddenly I got an
email in a panic that she couldn't save her file. Not a lot of
detail, but a subsequent email said that once she plugged in, she could save.
Anyone ever heard of what's happening here? I have to get some
detail as to what she's talking about. I have no idea what she is
seeing when she 'can't save'. The operating system is Win8 but
she's using Open Office (after I told them about Libre Office, sheesh).
I've never heard of that either - what sort of power setting would
turn off hard drive writes? If one did, Windows would fail
immediately as it couldn't access the page file or the temp folder.
I'd try it again to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and also check USB
power settings in case the keyboard or mouse were being disabled.
