CHICAGO — Illinois' 138 motor vehicle facilities were affected by a computer outage today. The entire state was messed. Repair crews were on job looking for a solution.

Secretary of State spokesman Dave Druker says the outage began this (Wednesday) morning and some facilities were coming back online slowly. But Druker recommends people postpone visits if they can.

Technicians from IBM were working with technology staff at the agency to resolve the problem. There was no official word on the cause.

Some customers were being sent home with courtesy cards allowing them to return another time without having to wait in line.
