Trying to figure out my computer !

I swear just when I think I have everything figured out (well, most of it anyway) I come across something different.  I made the mistake of not having them show me all about the computer and what all it could do.  Nooo, not me, I was going to figure everything all by myself.  Well guess what,  I don't have anything figured out and now I don't know where all my pictures have gone.  The new ones that is.  I have the older ones but I would like to add the recent pictures and another thing when I hit certain letters this little sign pops up then when I continue it disappears.  Now, I ask you, what is that ?  I'm thinking about setting up an appointment and going back in and seeing if I can still have them show me Or I could just sit here in frustration and keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. 

No matter what I choose to do I will continue to do all my blogs.  I know I have said this before but I want to write in them more often.  So here is to this new year that really has started out great, may it continue.  Tootles
