Hi Nancy,
I hope you are doing well. I have an old computer that has Windows ME on it. My wife got me a new one with Vista on it, so the old one has been stored for awhile. Now we want to get rid of the old one, but I want to make sure I have all my personal information off of it first. The problem is, when I plug the monitor into the modem the monitor won't work. It works alone, before I connect it to the modem, but as soon as I connect it, the power button light goes out. I know it isn't the monitor because I have tried another one. They both work fine, until you connect them to the modem.
Thanks for any help,
Don.

You need a new modem.. You have a short somewhere on your present one. One thing to consider here is the fact that you do not need to be online to reformat your hard drive and reinstall your operating system.
Try Darik's Boot & Nuke at www.dban.org to clean this up and get it ready to go..

Don.
I am not sure what you mean by plugging the monitor into the modem. I think you mean to the computer. It sounds like the computer is off or in stand by or in sleep mode. Does the computer boot up? If it does the video board in the computer could have failed. Try rebooting the computer again to see if it helps. Also check to see if the pins are all straight on the monitor plug and that it is plugged in the correct place. Is it plugged all the way in.

Hi Nancy
Hope all is going well.
My photos appear as icons in PAINT and WINDOWS PHOTO GALLERY and I can't
figure out how to make them appear as photos. It's a pain to click on
every icon to see what the picture is.

Hi Nancy. Hope you are recovering well, and in good spirits. You continue in our prayers.
For VOXPOX who is having trouble getting his pictures to open as pictures rather than icons: While I'm not familiar with Vista, most folders in other OS have the ability to click on "VIEW" and change the appearance of the contents to "THUMBNAILS", rather than "ICONS". This would allow him to see what the picture is. Is this capability in Vista?
Bob
------------
Yes Vista has this capability.. The question here is if he is seeing thumbnails or paint icons.
Thumbnails swap out easily while paint takes a bit more work. Usually you have to do a repair install of your operating system to fix that up..

Hi Nancy
 
Harry from Northern Ireland here - hope you can help someone from across the pond.
 
I am running out of ideas for this one - some months ago my computer start going , for want of a better phrase "beserk" & crashed. The screen was flashing in vivid colours & I could not cure the problem or restart. I contacted Norton who could only advise to contact Dell support whos only cure was to wipe the hard drive which we did. Thinking that the Norton backup that I had from about 2 weeks previouly would restore all the files I now find it impossible to open said files.
 
Norton technical help tried remotely for around 2 hours yesterday & finally got the files back into a new folder on my desktop and I thought great but no, if for example if I try to open a document or photo all I get is a small white box with a red x inside.
 
Norton response is sorry the files must have been infected before the crash and there is nothing more they can do.
 
The computer is a Dell Inspiron AMD64 3200+ 2.00 GHz 1.93GB running XP ver. 2002 serv pack 3
 
Is there any chance now of repairing these files or do I now delete the old files cancel Norton and try a new anti virus company.
 
Any ideas Nancy would be welcome & I'd be eternally grateful
 
I'll leave you with an Irish saying - may you be in Heaven half an hour before the devil knows you are dead
 
Regards
 
Harry

Hi Nancy and gang,

This is for Kev, who was looking for a way to transfer files to USB flash on a Win 98 system, I came across this when I was trying to set up an old system for a friend, nusb33e.exe , It allows the old USB ports to use the newer USB 2.0 devices to work, at least it did for my old 1/2 gig thumb drive. I guess it could be googled, I tried adding it as an attachment but being an executable it wont work. Hope it helps.

I recently purchased a 160G Ovation external drive for my Kworld multimedia player (model M101).

  a. How do I make partition of the said drive (steps and what application)

  b. Will all data/files on my external drive will be erased when I do partitioning?

 

Will it be possible if I make it this way?

  Partition A - all movie files

               B -  all music files

               C -  personal docs

               D -

How are you trying to save the picture?

WPG "auto-saves" the changes you've made to a picture. There's no action you
need to take to save it.
You also have the option to undo any changes you've made and revert to the
original.
Nancy
--------------------
If your using Internet explorer browser.....when you open of my pictures there is an icon that will allow thumbnails to show up instead if the icons that you have to click on  to open up...not at all very familiar with other browsers. others may have additional info for you out here.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to you all

Thanks so much for being there.
Could you tell me how to reset my font size permanently?
I use Outlook, have a Dell, DSL.
Thanks again.
JB
----------------------
 
If you are using Outlook 2003 like Outlook Express, the settings you need to change are in the Tools menu under Options.

The difference is that Outlook 2003 has a section called Mail Format and that is where you will be making your modifications.

In this box, uncheck the "Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages" and then click the Fonts button. In this dialogue box choose the font and the font size you want to use in the section marked "When composing and reading plain text."

Hello Nancy,
 
I hope today finds you in good sprites...
 
I'm running windows 98 2nd edition.
hp computer pavilion (still runs great btw)
tons of free space
I'm on a dial-up connection
 
What I want to know is - my cd rom writer does not work any more. I have about 1 gig of music files and other things that I want to save, as backup. Can I buy any type of flash drive to save these files to? I've been told that today's flash drives may not work because of the age of my computer.
 
Thanks for all the help you and Robert give to us.
 
kev
------------
You may have a difficult time finding a USB device that works with Windows 98 SR2.  It looks like Seagate external drives will work - http://tinyurl.com/ydgx6eq.  That may be the way to go, even though it is massive over kill for 1GB of data.

Robert
--------------------
kev
I am not sure if a flash drive will work with windows 98. I think it might not have drivers for it but it is worth a try. You might find drivers for it on the internet. I have used them With ME.  Your cd writer probably needs to be replaced. It isn't hard to install a new cd writer and they aren't real expensive.  When you get it let them know it is for a windows 98 computer. The new ones use use a new kind of plug in on the drives.
Gordon
=====================
Robert & Gordan
 
Thanks for the advice. I think an external drive is the way to go, but as Robert said its an overkill for just 1 gig of stuff, no big loss if I lose the files.
 
Y'all have a great day.
 
Kev

I ran the fix guide and followed the instructions..
It found 365 errors nearly everywhere in the registry.The Freebie will only fix two of them..If I unstall Windows XP and reinstall it, will that get rid of everything and start me out fresh again? I have nothing that I need to save..I can reinstall my virus protections afterwards..Thank you for your help..What would I do without you and your helpers?? I know, cry buckets of tears and spend money on a new computer instead....
Boojeans
----------------------
If your problem is a registry error you might want to give CCleaner - http://www.ccleaner.com/download a try.

You can't "uninstall" Windows.  You have to reformat the drive first or install with a restore CD.  You might want to download or back up your anti-virus software before you reload.  My normal order is:

1.  Windows
2.  Drivers
3.  Anti-Virus
4.  Connect to Internet
5.  Windows Updates
6.  Adobe -
http://www.adobe.com/ (Reader, Flash, and Shockwave)
7.  Java -

8.  Whatever else you normally have

Robert

--------------------
Thank you, Robert for the advice..I do have the original CD for Windows that came with my computer..The last time I used it I did uninstall windows and then used the CD to put it back the way it was when I purchased it.. I did have to install a lot of the Window updates as well as the anti virus protections and update various other items..It takes a lot of time to accomplish, but it is worth it..I will keep the info you offered as a reference guide.

I have on older computer that I installed a faster processer in. It worked fine for a few days now when  I turn it on first thing in the morning it tells me there might be a problem with my ppu. I turn it off then back on a few times it will start and run fine all day can restart it and everything as long as it doesn.t sit for a while it will start just fine. American Micro 1.10 gig processer,384mb ram ,10gig hdd running Windows xp.. Can you tell me what the ppu is and can I fix this problem worried one day it won"t start.
 
thanks,Pat
-----------------
Your ppu is actually your cpu.. Yes you can go buy a slower one but there is not much point in that.. It would be a waste of money since computers are not back stepping at all..
This is one of those things that you are going to have to let die on their own..

Hi, Robert. Thanks for your answer, but things went from strange to even stranger until I figured it out. I moved the entire "downloads" folder to my documents, and was able to access it. I then deleted all downloads that I did after a certain date. Now it works without a hitch. Evidently a corrupted download was causing the problem. Thanks for a swift reply, and I hope the whole crew has a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

I ran the fix guide and followed the instructions..
It found 365 errors nearly everywhere in the registry.The Freebie will only fix two of them..If I unstall Windows XP and reinstall it, will that get rid of everything and start me out fresh again? I have nothing that I need to save..I can reinstall my virus protections afterwards..Thank you for your help..What would I do without you and your helpers?? I know, cry buckets of tears and spend money on a new computer instead....

Hi Nancy, Hope you are doing ok. I wrote in the other day to tell you about a range extender for WIFI. Well, I got it and it works great! It was not the easiest thing to install as the CD did not have the driver for Vista on it, so I downloaded it from their web site, but the file type was a rar???? Vista would not open it, so I just plugged the dang thing in and it found new hardware and found a driver for it. I went from only getting one bar of signal strength to 5!!!   Well worth the money! Here is a link to it. Thanks, Jim

Hi Nancy, hope your head ache left. I have lived with them a long time an just try to ignore them
it works sometimes.-----I have an Acer laptop w/ win. 7, . I like XP better. My problem is I cant get names in my address book to go to the TO in my forwarding attempts..I try to forward an e mail an when I click the TO to insert address I get zip.  I use outlook express on my big PC an it works well. Things go bad when I use the laptop to get my mail.. I have addresses in my book I just can't get them into my e-mails.Thanking all for your help--Tony
-------------------
My head has been feeling pretty good all day!
Win 7 has only been out a month now.. If I were you I would be on the phone with a rep!
But before you hop in there check for crap look at the file ext. so you know what to replace it with.
Nancy

Hey Nancy and All,
We are keeping you in thoughts and prayers. I have an older pc with XP
Pro, 1 gig ram, 40 gig HDD and my problem is related to office 2000.
when I put a shortcut on the desktop to take me to a specific file such
as an excel sheet, the shortcut takes forever to open. sometimes 15
minutes and often produces an error or just opens a blank page.  If I
open the program then from there open the sheet it works fine.  Any ideas?
Dave in Ohio
------------------------
Delete the short cut and recreate it?  Are you sure that it is a short cut and not the actual file?
Robert
----------------------
I agree with Robert but before you recreate it look at it's properties and make the file open in Excel and continue to your file from there..
Nancy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks for the reply.
 
Robert you said,

 :
You can't actually remove the senderID information, it has to be there to deliver the e-mail.  What you can do is leave it blank so just by looking at the normal e-mail you can't see who it is from.  This is all handled by your mail client.  I doubt that you could do this on a web mail client, but should have no issues if you did it in Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, and so on.  You just change the name that shows."

May I trouble you to tell me exactly how to do it in Outlook Express?  I'm not very savvy on this and neither is anyone in this household.  Many thanks and God bless.  Mo
----------------------
Here are instructions for Outlook Express - http://tinyurl.com/yabmeuk.  Sorry since I use Thunderbird I can't give you much more.

Hi, Nancy. First of all, I want you to know that my wife and I are still praying for you. That will continue.
That said, I have a strange problem. I have a folder I named Downloads in my Presario C. In that folder, I have several sub-folders. Whenever I download something, it goes into the Downloads folder. Lately, when I go to the Downloads folder, I get a pop-up that says: To help protect your computer, Windows has closed this program.
Name: Windows Explorer
Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
Beneath that there is a button to close the message. When I close the message, another pop-up comes up. This one says: Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. I have the option of debugging or closing. When I close the pop-up, I lose my desktop for a minute, and then it comes back. I've tried all I know to try, including emptying the Temp. folder, running diagnostics, running CCleaner, Avast Virus scans, Malwarebytes scan, and Super AntiSpy scans. Nothing shows up. Any ideas? Compaq Presario SR1703WM, AMD Sempron 3200+ processor, Windows XP, IE8, 2gb RAM.
Thanks once again. You're my hero!
Fred In Oklahoma
PS. I forgot to mention, SP3
----------------
Normally I've seen this after Windows has been installed for a while, normally over 12 months, closer to 24 or 36.  Rather than trying to find out what is causing the issue it is normally easier to back up your data and reload Windows.  What is happening is that EXPLORER.EXE is crashing, this is the program that runs your desktop.  There is so much software that interacts with EXPLORER.EXE it is very difficult to determine what program is causing the crash.  This isn't normally a sign of infection, more often it is a problem with a poorly written program or driver.

Hello Nancy,
 
I hope today finds you in good sprites...
 
I'm running windows 98 2nd edition.
hp computer pavilion (still runs great btw)
tons of free space
I'm on a dial-up connection
 
What I want to know is - my cd room writer does not work any more. I have about 1 gig of music files and other things that I want to save, as backup. Can I buy any type of flash drive to save these files to? I've been told that today's flash drives may not work because of the age of my computer.
 
Thanks for all the help you and Robert give to us.
 
kev
------------
You may have a difficult time finding a USB device that works with Windows 98 SR2.  It looks like Seagate external drives will work - http://tinyurl.com/ydgx6eq.  That may be the way to go, even though it is massive over kill for 1GB of data.

Robert
--------------------
kev
I am not sure if a flash drive will work with windows 98. I think it might not have drivers for it but it is worth a try. You might find drivers for it on the internet. I have used them With ME.  Your cd writer probably needs to be replaced. It isn't hard to install a new cd writer and they aren't real expensive.  When you get it let them know it is for a windows 98 computer. The new ones use use a new kind of plug in on the drives.

I can't find TIGERJET, we recently added MAGICJACK and i wonder if it has something to do with that?  I am not very computer smart, so if someone can tell me where TIGERJET might be please?  It is not in ADD OR REMOVE, or it would have been gone!  Also when i try to play sound, a thingy says i need a CODEC code for WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, it used to work fine, please give me some ideas.  That one thing Nancy you gave me to scan my system came up with household hints and a bunch of other stuff.  Thanks for all your help, i feel like such a dummy. Bob
 
-----------------
How many computers do you have? If it is more than one move the MagicJack to a more remote computer.
If you only have one I would remove the MagicJack from it and restart again..
Reboot after you remove it just to make sure it keeps running right.. If your sound is back try a reinstall.

I frequent several forums where some of the contributors do not know how to
successfully post a working hotlink.

In the past, using IE6, I was able to highlight and copy the unworking URL
and paste it into the address bar.

I recently upgraded to IE8 and it does not allow a paste to the address bar.

Is there something I missed or is there a work-around for this problem?

Win XP, SP2 + IE8

What is the issue that you are having?  I'm able to copy and paste a link from this newsletter into IE8 on Windows 7 with no issues.  You can try doing a CTRL+V to paste it in the address bar.  Can you paste what you copied into a Wordpad document?  I've had an issue where for some reason the copy portion wasn't working and normally a reboot fixed it.

How do you send an email without showing senderID information?  I used to be able to do this but have forgotten how.  Thanks so much!  Mo

You can't actually remove the senderID information, it has to be there to deliver the e-mail.  What you can do is leave it blank so just by looking at the normal e-mail you can't see who it is from.  This is all handled by your mail client.  I doubt that you could do this on a web mail client, but should have no issues if you did it in Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, and so on.  You just change the name that shows.

I have been playing Mafia Wars via Facebook for the last 6 weeks and after they did an update last week. They rolled back the update because of other problems {freezing, slow play, etc. 
I started to get this error message (attachment) after the rollback. then the window closes no matter what I do. I have uninstalled Adobe player and redownloaded it and it made no difference
Any ideas on what to do would be appreciated

The current version of Adobe Flash Player is version 10.0.32.18, available from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.  You might want to uncheck whatever thing they are pushing, for me it was McAfee Security Scan.

About the only other idea I would have would be to download Firefox -
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html and then reinstall Adobe Flash Player and use Firefox.  If it still doesn't work in Firefox then the issue is with the Adobe Flash Player..

Nancy, good to see your getting better.

A couple of years ago I asked you a question, but have misplaced your answer.
Windows XP, is coming up with a window asking me to debug.
I believe there is a box that needs to be checked, could you please tell me how to get there.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jeanette
----------------------
or ("Error. A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you want to debug?"), which pops up whenever there's a bug in the JavaScript you run into on a website. This happens with shocking regularity: Either people are terrible programmers or IE is a terrible browser, or both. If you're an IE user, you certainly know what I'm talking about, and the one time you did click Debug, you had no idea what to do with that information. It's altogether one of IE's most absurd features.

Luckily, turning it off is simple.

In either IE6 or IE7, click Tools > Internet Options, then click the Advanced tab.  Make sure there are check marks next to "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" and "Disable Script Debugging (Other)." Uncheck the box next to "Display a notification about every script error." It should look like the example in the screenshot above.

While you're disabling useless dialog boxes, you might as well turn off error reporting for those (many) times when IE crashes. It's easy. In Windows XP, go to the System control panel, click Advanced, then click "Error Reporting" at the bottom of the screen. Click the button next to "Disable error reporting." Turn off "But notify me when critical errors occur" if you want... it doesn't really matter much.

Hi, Nancy,

I have been following your health progress with concern and prayers. You have made a contribution that has endeared you to many of us out here. I wish you well!

Now my question:

I tried clicking on the link www.housecalls.com , and all I got was an advertising site; to get to the Trendmicro site, I had to google “online scans”. Even then, although I seem to have managed to launch housecall, it was difficult to be sure that it had actually done anything – there was no report, or further information. Am I doing something wrong?

Rob in Whyalla

You know that feeling you get when you know everything???

I had it right before I sent it out to you! http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

HERE IS MY ORIGINAL MESSAGE I WAS GOING TO SEND!  I TRIED WHAT YOU SAID, I CANNOT MOVE THE SLIDE BAR ON VOLUME BECAUSE TIGERJET HAS CONTROL OF IT! 
I have been having good sound, then nothing.  I went to CONTROL PANEL, clicked on SOUNDS AND AUDIO DEVICES, instead of REALTEK HD AUDIO, there was USB INTERNET PHONE BY TIGERJET.  ON PROPERTIES i have the following, VOLUME-cannot do anything, locked in on TIGERJET,SOUNDS-set on WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, other settings can be used are WINDOWS DEFAULT, NO SOUNDS,SOUND.  AUDIO-sound playback-TIGERJET,sound recording-TIGERJET, tried switching back to REALTEK on both, won't do it.MIDI SOUND PLAYBACK-microsoft GS wavetable SW synth.VOICE-is set on REALTEK PLEASE tell me what i need to do to get rid of TIGERJET and restore REALTEK?  Thank you.  Bob
--------------------
Bob can you just uninstall Tigerjet and restore Realtek?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nancy, I must have missed your reply if you answered.....sorry.
When I play a video on Utube it starts and stops several times but then if I
play It again it goes thru without stopping. Can you tell me how to play it thru
the first time without stopping? 

Thanks much.
J

----------------------

J
        It sounds like your internet connection isn't fast enough to download as fast as the video plays. I have that happen to me sometimes.
Gordon
----------------------
Get a faster Internet connection.  The problem you are describing is with buffering the video.  Your connection isn't fast enough so it stops playing when it hits the end of what it downloads.  After it has downloaded once you're playing it from your computer and it works fine.  This is most likely a problem you will have to live with, or find a program to download the videos so you can watch them without having to be connected.
Robert

This is for Robert.  Recently had to do a reformat (again) on my Vista and lost the link to your web site Ninja.  Would you please give me the link again.  I enjoy visiting your site and seeing what is new.


Thanks, Flowers
--------------------
The site is http://www.computerninja.net.  However, it hasn't been updated in forever and I need to take it down and rebuild as one of my computer reloads lost the button graphics.  Life has been busy with looking for work, getting married at the end of the year, and taking care of cooking for my finance so she has a reason to keep me around.  Tonight is pot roast with vegetables, bread machine bread and banana pudding for dessert.

Any way to couple an external antenna to a laptop for more range. No ant input jack. Inductive coupling maybe? How?
 
TNX
Diemer
-------------------------
Hi Nancy, Maybe I can help Diemer out. He wanted to extend his laptop range, well, so did I, so a friend recommended a range booster. I found them on Ebay and ordered one, but it has not arrived yet, so I can't tell you how good it works. It should be here later this week so I'll let you know how good it is or is not!

I forgot to include this link to those wifi range extenders.
http://stores.ebay.com/Wireless-Online-Depot
Thanks, Jim
----------------
Sorry, no can do, not easily.  My experience is with HP laptops.  The antenna for the wireless runs along the outside frame of the display.  About the best you can do it get a USB or PCMCIA network adapter and connect an antenna to it.

I frequent several forums where some of the contributors do not know how to
successfully post a working hotlink.

In the past, using IE6, I was able to highlight and copy the unworking URL
and paste it into the address bar.

I recently upgraded to IE8 and it does not allow a paste to the address bar.

Is there something I missed or is there a work-around for this problem?

I have an eMachine with Windows XP. When I turn it on a message appears that says MSVCP71.dll can not be found. I googled it and located an article titled "Causes of MSVCP71 errors. I selected -Start, Run and typed in scannow as directed and it can not find it. It does not find MSVCP either..Apparently I need a registry fix and the article offers a free download of RegGenie.

Sound Gone

I get all the computer noises, but if i try to play music, or videos with sound,
it won't.  I have checked all connections, settings, etc.  When i try to play
the videos, it says something about CODEC, playing music from email from my
music groups, it plays with no sound on windows media player!  HELP PLEASE.  Bob
-----------------------
CODEC are used to COde and DECode digital files.  You can try the
K-Lite Codec pack - http://www.codecguide.com/.  Here is the download
page - http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm.
Robert
--------------------
Have you downloaded any new codecs lately? First thing I would do is run an
online scan at www.housecalls.com.. If it finds anything delete it.. I hope you
don't find anything but its a great place to start..

Nan, I had a problem with my DVD read/write ever since I bought the HP Pavilion.
It works, some times...less and less with time. Is there something I can do
beside replacing the unit or buying an, external, device?
G
-----------------
Best you can do is try and update drivers and firmware, but odds are
you're going to have to replace it with one of the options you
mentioned.

Greetings Nancy et al,

I have a problem which just may involve stupidity instead of a real problem.  I
have a Canon ZR300 Digital Video Camcorder, which uses small cassettes that I am
trying to transfer to my hard drive and edit on Windows Movie Maker (I have a
Dell desktop w/Windows XP).
I first tried with a cable from my camera to a USB port, which didn't work. 
Then I bought a Fire Wire kit with IEEE 1394 cables, and herein lies the
problem.  I can't tell whether or not my computer has a fire wire port - I've
tried looking at the back of it, and can't identify anything that the plug would
fit into.  My computer owner's manual doesn't show any such port on the diagram,
so I'm wondering if I'm just out of luck, or if there's any other way to load
the videotapes into my hard drive.  Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated, as usual.  Thanks, Greg in Carpall the garbage I have on this
machine on it ..How can I go about moving just the programs I want one at a time
and not everything on this machine ?..Try to make it easy, remember I'm an old
man...thank you and get well !

  OldRoy
-------------------------
How about buying a firewire card? Usually firewires are the same size as usb
wires.. Short of hooking up wires from your camcorder to your pc..
Have you considered putting in a usb card? That will get you ready for either
method.. Last choice would be to transfer your videos to dvds..
As far as moving the programs you can only move the ones you have the install
discs for..
And yes I am improving everyday!
Nancy

have searched Microsoft and googled it but came up with nothing useful.Anything

I have my Outlook addresses on a CD and want to transfer them to the Microsoft
Outlook Contacts on my computer.  I recently had work done on my computer, so I
saved my contacts on a CD, but now I can't seem to get them back into my
computer.  I have a Gateway PC with Windows XP Professional system.

I need help please!  Thank you!

Kisha Cohen


---------------------
Please disregard the e-mail I sent you Nov 6.  I figured out how to transfer the
addresses from the CD to my Outlook Contacts.  I just dragged them over.  Very
simple!

Thanks anyway.

Consider it done!

I haven't run on to this but since you can open the picture on your
computer, I would try to save it to the memory card under a different
name. Right click on the file and click save as. leave the file type the
same but save it under a different name to see if this solves the
problem. If the picture is in a separate folder or is in a folder with
other pictures that don't work right click on the folder and click on
properties. Check to see if the files in the folder are hidden. I didn't
check to see if this works but I remember seeing something like this.
Picassa has a feature to hide pictures. I think it only makes it so they
don't show in Picassa but I could be wrong.
Gordon

Ken you need to try this one more time..
Make sure you do a full format before you reinstall.
It is hard for me to figure out what went wrong from this distance but we have
to run it again regardless.
Nancy
Nan, what do you mean by "a full format"? If you mean do a format from DOS I
don't know how to do that.

if I seem a bit frazzled, I just had my 11th and 12th great
grandbabies. They were twins and I'm dying to see their pictures but
they are still in NICU.

I lost Buff's addy or I would send directly to him, but he would
probably ask you anyway.

procedure, the less damage done and the quicker the recovery.  Isn't it
amazing what they can do nowadays?

Since Windows 3.xx you can't move programs, you must reinstall them.
So you will need either the original install media or download for
each program you want to install on the laptop.  You may need to
purchase an updated version that works with Windows 7.

Firewire is most commonly found on Apple computers.  Unless you built
the computer yourself and selected Firewire you most likely don't have
it.  You may be able to purchase a Firewire Add in card.  Another
option would be to get a tuner and connect your camcorder to it like
you would a television and record off of the tuner.  I don't know the
quality of your camera so I don't know if this would be a good thing
or not.  Last time I had to do this I connected the camera to my DVD
burner and made a DVD and then copied the files off of the DVD so I
could use them on the computer.

Yes....In fact I just reinstalled Windows from the disks. But the problem
started before I did that.
Ken in NJ
----------------------
Did you reformat first? Because if you didn't you need to go back and start over
with a reformat.
Nancy

When I restarted the computer with the disks in the D drive it said "this will
reformat the hard drive, do you want to continue." It's not just one computer
that has the problem, all of mine does.

Hey Nancy & Herd;

Hope you are feeling well, always thinking of you. I have Dell Vostro 1500
Laptop running Windows XP. My problem is a SD card. I have a digital photo frame
that I download pics to all the time. Everything usually works okay. This week,
I downloaded some new pics from my camera--when playing back in the frame, this
particular file says it is bad. I put SD card back in computer and they show
up--the files are also stored on the computer plus a backup USB device--they all
show up in those places also. When I went to download files to the SD card, it
said something about a hidden file and I clicked okay. But obviously, I am not
doing something correctly--can you help me out?? Thanks in advance.

Bonnie >^,,^<
------------------
What are the extentions on the problem files??
That may give us a clue to the problem..
Nancy
--------
It is a jpeg file that I am trying to move from the computer to digital picture
frame. I have done this a thousand times. Now, it says that this particular file
has 1 hidden file. If you want to select them as well, enable viewing in the
Folder Options Menu---I don't know where to go from there.

Hope you are feeling okay, I know it has probably been a hard week. So sorry it
took me so long to get back to you. Thanks again. Bonnie >^,,^<
---------------
When you stick the card in the computer are you able to view the file after
going through the folder options menu?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't have to do anything there.  When I stick the card in the computer
everything shows up--I am able to view it normally. ?????

Bonnie
-------------------
The only thing I can think of at this time is to delete the hidden files from
the chip on your computer and start over again..  Maybe next week after they
clean up my brain I will be able to be of more help..

Dear Nancy,

Tell the Old Chief that we have been talking to the BOSS and HE is giving those
Doctors personal instructions.

Love,
Chan

PS: Have you heard from Laura?
-----------------------
I think you just told him!
Yes I got a nice note from Laura and wrote her back,,
Nancy

Hi Nancy

Of course you're in my prayers; you've been there since the first time you
realized something was wrong with your body (mind's still OK I hope?).

I just wanted you to thank Robert for the info relative to me migrating to a new
computer with Windows 7 from a seven year old one with XP for my spouse early
next year.  I feel lots better about the prospects.  An unhappy wife isn't the
best of companions.  On an external HD via USB on a computer I have my second
SATA HD on a USB port. Originally I tried to install that HD in my HP Media
Center PC m7350n until I found that it would have to lay flat in the bottom of
the case plus it would probably would require another fan.  More noise is not a
good thing when my computer is very close physically to my spouse's.

Enough rambling!  The best to you, Lady.

sorta old Jim - upstate NY

Nancy this didn't fix the problem. At 6:15 I placed something in the Recycle
Bin, by 7:15 it was empty. Also cookies that I want to save are disappearing
too. I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem.

Ken in NJ
----------------
You have made sure that you are virus/malware free, correct??
Nancy

Yes....In fact I just reinstalled Windows from the disks. But the problem
started before I did that.
Ken in NJ
----------------------
Did you reformat first? Because if you didn't you need to go back and start over
with a reformat.
Nancy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My wife has a Toshiba laptop. I added a mouse and an LG 20" monitor. She likes
to use the large monitor for games and laptop for email etc.

Initially both screens were on and she had a small ATI icon on the taskbar.

Now the icon is gone as well the laptop screen is blank. If I right click on
desktop on the monitor and look under properties/monitor it does not give choice
of 1 or 2. If I disconnect the monitor the laptop screen is back and active.

The ATI card is the problem I think. It is a 3D Rage Pro AGP. I have tried
downloading and re-installing drivers. It only goes so far and I get a Code10 .

Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks

bill
-------------------
Bill I went through the same thing with my HP laptop and never got it figured
out..
Wish I could help but your going to have to make a call to Toshiba..
They will have the answers you are looking for. Then if you wouldn't mind
clueing the rest of us in??
Nancy

Nancy
        Am glad to hear you are on the mend we pray for you .  My question is
this , I am running Verizon wireless internet and get very poor service and am
told that I should buy an external antenna which will boost my signal and
hopefully will fix my poor download speed . they tell me the cost it around
$20.00 . I went to Best buys today and they say they have never heard of an
external antenna foe a USB wireless internet . Have you had any idea as to what
Verizon is talking about and do you know where I could get one ?

Thanks
Harold

I have seen them for phones but never for computers.. I would call Verizon back
and ask them where you would find one..

Hi again. Hope so much you are feeling more like yourself Nancy. Praying for
you. When I first got my computer a Tech put in Cyberlink which I never used and
it showed up as a problem in my Registry?Well I finally removed it from
Add/Remove (only place I could find it). Went around and deleted all files.
Things settled down. Not so fast! Now when I have been on my computer awhile
this rectangular square pops up with a loud noise...Windows cannot find
Cyberlink..etc. How do I stop this now? I can just click it off but...I'm still
pretty dumb when it comes to this monster....Diana
-----------------
Sounds like something has been left behind.  I'd start by going to
Start\Run and run MSCONFIG and see if you can see something related to
Cyberlink in the Startup section.

Hi Nancy, Hope you are progressing well. How do I change the (System Locale)
language back to
English (NZ) without doing a reinstall, please? Some programs now want to
install in Spanish, e.g.
Nero and Divx Player. Belarc Advisor says the Install Language is English (US),
but System Locale
is Spanish (Chile).

A friend in Chile often sends me Powerpoints. She sends the translation so I can
change them for
English-speaking friends. Sometimes she wants me to change a PPS from English to
Spanish as
she is unable to edit them. I'm using Win XP Home SP2, Office 2003. Many thanks
to you, and
Robert, for your vast store of knowledge. Cheryl T. (Auckland, NZ)

Hello Nancy..Been quit  a while since I have written you..Glad your getting back
in shape...Simple question..I have Visa on my desk top and just bought a lap top
with 7 already  on it ( not delivered yet)..I have the program PC Mover and
intend to use it, but what happens to Visa ? Do I leave it where it is on the
Desk Top when I make the move or do I have to move the programs by them selves
?...Make it simple if you can I just hit 86 mark and don't think quite as fast
as I did 50 years ago (50 years ago ? Wow !)...Thanks...

OldRoy
---------------------
Yes, you leave Vista on the Desktop.  Your programs you may want on
the laptop will have to be reinstalled.  You data can be moved over
with Microsoft's Transfer your files wizard in the Getting Started
folder that is pinned to the start.

Hi Lady

I'm getting my wife a new Windows 7 computer early next year; her current one is
about seven years old.  I put a second hard drive on her current machine a
couple years back for safe-store purposes.  It's an IDE type - SATA didn't exist
when her computer was built.  Can I back up to that HD and reload stuff into her
new machine by USB port; i.e. will the new machine be able to work with the IDE
HD that way?  The second question:  I just read Outlook Express will be gone -
Windows Live is all that's available.  How can I convert her OE stuff to work
within the new system?  To me it seems stupid for MS to kill OE, in part because
all contacts would have to be remade, etc.

sorta old Jim - upstate NY
-----------------
Really depends on the computer if it will work with IDE.  A lot of
system boards still have the IDE port, it just isn't used.  Worst case
you can get an USB to IDE adapter and use it that way.

Here is some information on converting from OE to Windows Live -

Hey Nancy and crew,
     Nancy, we will keep you in our prayers. So sad  this has happen to such a
wonderful person.
I wrote earlier and asked about how I should install SP3. Robert gave me the
info for it. Well, I did what I was supposed to do, but..........I forgot to
uninstall Norton first. I tried it halfway through the install for SP3. And of
course it isn't running well. So when I tried to uninstall it, I get this window
about all the stuff that might not work if I do so. Is there a way to copy this
info so I can keep it on hand when I do uninstall? There are over 70 things on
the list. And, are there any other things I should know before I do this
uninstall? I'm gonna put SP3 back in and do it right this time. HP Pavilion
753n, 2.53GB Pentium 4 processor, 80GB hard drive,1024 memory, Norton 360.
Thanks, Theo

In Microsoft Windows pressing print screen will capture the entire screen, while
pressing the alt key in combination with print screen will capture the currently
selected window. The captured image can then be pasted into an editing program
such as a word processor, email, or graphics software. On keyboards that have an
F Lock key, you may have to press F Lock first. NotePad will not successfully
accept the pasted image. Pressing print screen, with both the alt key and shift
key pressed, turns on a high contrast mode for people with visual impairments
I hope this answers your question.

Nancy,

I use the MS Excel spreadsheet to make rosters and inventories, among other
things.  But, when I print it out, the horizontal and vertical grid lines do not
print out.  The grid lines are important to clearly separate the data on the
document.

I have tried the following to no avail:

      1.  On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Sheet tab.

      2.  Select or clear the Gridlines check box.

      3.  Click Print.

What can I do now to print out grid lines?

Gerry
-----------------
The box in step 2 needs to be checked if you want to print the Grid
Lines.  Another method might be to highlight your selection and right
click and format, there is a line tool that allows you to set up lines
in many different ways.  I just installed Windows 7 and haven't
reinstalled Office yet so I can't do a step by step for you yet.

Robert

Nancy, I hope you can help my wife and I with a problem that is driving us
crazy. Intermittently we will get a popup that I have attached also.



This is it. We do not have a network password as we are the only 2 persons
living here, and with our little home network (5 puters) we do not need a
password. But, this maddening window will at times pop up 50 or 100 times a
night, maybe more. When it comes up everything stops til you x, or cancel, or OK
out of it. It is especially maddening to me as I have to watch the keyboard
while I type and sometimes I will have typed a lot of stuff that is not there as
this popup has taken over the screen, grrrrrrr. I sent this to you a day or 2
ago but got it back as your mailbox was full. J Can you help us? Martie
-----------------
You need to go through all 5 computers and see which one has the networking
turned on.. No easy task but one you need to do yourself..

Hey Nancy & Herd;

Hope you are feeling well, always thinking of you.  I have Dell Vostro 1500
Laptop running Windows XP.  My problem is a SD card.  I have a digital photo
frame that I download pics to all the time.  Everything usually works okay. 
This week, I downloaded some new pics from my camera--when playing back in the
frame, this particular file says it is bad.  I put SD card back in computer and
they show up--the files are also stored on the computer plus a backup USB
device--they all show up in those places also.  When I went to download files to
the SD card, it said something about a hidden file and I clicked okay.  But
obviously, I am not doing something correctly--can you help me out??  Thanks in
advance.

Bonnie  >^,,^<
------------------
What are the extentions on the problem files??
That may give us a clue to the problem..
Nancy
--------
It is a jpeg file that I am trying to move from the computer to digital picture
frame.  I have done this a thousand times.  Now, it says that this particular
file has 1 hidden file.  If you want to select them as well, enable viewing in
the Folder Options Menu---I don't know where to go from there.

Hope you are feeling okay, I know it has probably been a hard week.  So sorry it
took me so long to get back to you.  Thanks again.  Bonnie  >^,,^<
---------------
When you stick the card in the computer are you able to view the file after
going through the folder options menu?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi Nan. How are you feeling? My problem is how do you stop the Recycle Bin from
emptying it self in Vista? I put a few things in it yesterday and when I went
back a few hours later to undo something it was gone. I have looked in the tool
bar and in the Recycle Bin properties. I don't have it set to remove files
immediately.

Hi Nancy,
    Hope your trip to Texas is a good one even if it is slow. Here's a question
from a slow learner. Window XP here. I hear so much about updating drivers or
checking them. Never have done it. In easy terms how do I go about doing it.
Still just using my computer for simple pleasures...Diana
--------------
The short answer is, if it ain't broke don't fix it until it is.  If you're not
having any issues with your computer you can "normally" avoid installing
drivers.  Updating drivers, especially the ones that Microsoft tends to provide
on Windows Update, you can go from a working machine to a non-working machine. 
On the other hand, if you are having issues, updating your drivers is one of the
first things you can try to fix it.

To update your drivers you need to either go to the web site of the company that
built your computer, or the individual manufacturer's of the parts inside of it.
Your main drivers are Video, Sound, Network, and motherboard.

That all said, since your computer is working fine for you I wouldn't recommend
messing with it.
Robert

Nancy -I am sorry but I do not know what you mean----I dont know where to look
what to look for or anything else -I am really computer illiterate about this .
No where can I find that this is installed -I don't know where to look for
drivers and software -I am completely baffled . I found a site where you can
download this app . but I dont know if I should do this or not !! Help!!!!!
Linda

---------------------
Linda, you can use free software to tell you all about your computer.  I
recommend SIW (System Information for Windows) - http://www.gtopala.com/ or
Belarc - http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html.  Both will tell you a ton of
information about your computer.

Robert
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey Nancy,

I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and think your positive thoughts
will help you.

My son's friend completely re-did my computer and it works much better and
faster.  He installed the Avast program to ward off the viruses and bad bugs.

Thanks for all you do for us while you are fighting the battle.

Bonnie in SC
-----------------
Thank you Bonnie!
Keep those prayers coming!
Nancy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nancy - been    waiting for your update. I love your attitude and optimism, and
that, along with the doctors' skilled hands will take you a long long way for a
long long time. All the best always and please keep us  posted. You know  how
much all of us care.
Sue
-----------------
Sue, I will never be away for very long!
Why none of my sisters can understand the concept of high-speed wireless still
confuses me..
Both operations will be short and sweet and I will be back up and running soon
after.
Nancy

Hi Lady

I'm getting my wife a new Windows 7 computer early next year; her current one is
about seven years old.  I put a second hard drive on her current machine a
couple years back for safe-store purposes.  It's an IDE type - SATA didn't exist
when her computer was built.  Can I back up to that HD and reload stuff into her
new machine by USB port; i.e. will the new machine be able to work with the IDE
HD that way?  The second question:  I just read Outlook Express will be gone -
Windows Live is all that's available.  How can I convert her OE stuff to work
within the new system?  To me it seems stupid for MS to kill OE, in part because
all contacts would have to be remade, etc.

Hey Nancy and crew,
     Nancy, we will keep you in our prayers. So sad  this has happen to such a
wonderful person.
I wrote earlier and asked about how I should install SP3. Robert gave me the
info for it. Well, I did what I was supposed to do, but..........I forgot to
uninstall Norton first. I tried it halfway through the install for SP3. And of
course it isn't running well. So when I tried to uninstall it, I get this window
about all the stuff that might not work if I do so. Is there a way to copy this
info so I can keep it on hand when I do uninstall? There are over 70 things on
the list. And, are there any other things I should know before I do this
uninstall? I'm gonna put SP3 back in and do it right this time. HP Pavilion
753n, 2.53GB Pentium 4 processor, 80GB hard drive,1024 memory, Norton 360.
Thanks, Theo

Nancy,

I use the MS Excel spreadsheet to make rosters and inventories, among other
things.  But, when I print it out, the horizontal and vertical grid lines do not
print out.  The grid lines are important to clearly separate the data on the
document.

I have tried the following to no avail:

      1.  On the File menu, click Page Setup, and then click the Sheet tab.

      2.  Select or clear the Gridlines check box.

      3.  Click Print.

What can I do now to print out grid lines?

Nancy, I hope you can help my wife and I with a problem that is driving us
crazy. Intermittently we will get a popup that I have attached also.






This is it. We do not have a network password as we are the only 2 persons
living here, and with our little home network (5 puters) we do not need a
password. But, this maddening window will at times pop up 50 or 100 times a
night, maybe more. When it comes up everything stops til you x, or cancel, or OK
out of it. It is especially maddening to me as I have to watch the keyboard
while I type and sometimes I will have typed a lot of stuff that is not there as
this popup has taken over the screen, grrrrrrr. I sent this to you a day or 2
ago but got it back as your mailbox was full. J Can you help us? Martie

Hey Nancy & Herd;

Hope you are feeling well, always thinking of you.  I have Dell Vostro 1500
Laptop running Windows XP.  My problem is a SD card.  I have a digital photo
frame that I download pics to all the time.  Everything usually works okay. 
This week, I downloaded some new pics from my camera--when playing back in the
frame, this particular file says it is bad.  I put SD card back in computer and
they show up--the files are also stored on the computer plus a backup USB
device--they all show up in those places also.  When I went to download files to
the SD card, it said something about a hidden file and I clicked okay.  But
obviously, I am not doing something correctly--can you help me out??  Thanks in
advance.

Bonnie  >^,,^<
------------------
What are the extentions on the problem files??
That may give us a clue to the problem..
Nancy
--------
It is a jpeg file that I am trying to move from the computer to digital picture
frame.  I have done this a thousand times.  Now, it says that this particular
file has 1 hidden file.  If you want to select them as well, enable viewing in
the Folder Options Menu---I don't know where to go from there.

Hope you are feeling okay, I know it has probably been a hard week.  So sorry it
took me so long to get back to you.  Thanks again.  Bonnie  >^,,^<

Hi Nan. How are you feeling? My problem is how do you stop the Recycle Bin from
emptying it self in Vista? I put a few things in it yesterday and when I went
back a few hours later to undo something it was gone. I have looked in the tool
bar and in the Recycle Bin properties. I don't have it set to remove files
immediately.

While I am sitting here waiting for my mail to download...
AOL dial up takes forever after you get used to cable high speed!
I may as well bring everyone up to date on my medical ccondition.
They found a tumor about 3/4" in my brain with some swelling..
That explains the headaches and vision problems. They plan on going in in the
next week or so and burning it out with a gamma knife. I liked that idea better
than just cut my head open and manhandle my brain..
As soon as an opening comes up for the gamma knife on my back I will be
scheduled for that.
After they get those two kicked out of the way the will start on my lungs..
My lungs may be loaded but the other two tumors pose a much bigger risk right
now.
I can't say I am enjoying all this attention but with out it I will only have a
year or so left and I want to see some grandbabies before I leave this life!
Besides I am tired of the numb thigh and sore butt cheek!
I will keep you posted as we go..
Nancy

BTW I got tired of waiting.. You will get your issue tomorrow..

I have run Avast for quite awhile now and it is just great. However I am now getting a RED popup box every time I boot up asking me to either update to the Paid version or the Free one. I did the free one but still getting the popup. How can I disable it?
 
Thanks for all your help.
 
bill
-----------------
Sounds like you just need to re-register the free version.  This is the one major flaw with Avast!, you have to re-register it every year.  It should be as simple as clicking on the link in the box and going to the web page and re-registering.  You need to do this to keep getting the virus signature updates.
 
 Robert
---------------------
Bill
Avast free needs to have a new registration number every year. You can go
to the web site and sign in to get a new number. They will e-mail it to
you with info on how to put the new number in. This is the web site to go
to.

   Hope your trip to Texas is a good one even if it is slow. Here's a question from a slow learner. Window XP here. I hear so much about updating drivers or checking them. Never have done it. In easy terms how do I go about doing it. Still just using my computer for simple pleasures...Diana

Nancy -I am sorry but I do not know what you mean----I dont know where to look what to look for or anything else -I am really computer illiterate about this . No where can I find that this is installed -I don't know where to look for drivers and software -I am completely baffled . I found a site where you can download this app . but I dont know if I should do this or not !! Help!!!!!

I leave for Texas at 6am tomorrow morning. I arrive at 4pm so you can guess how many lay over's I have!
I will be welcomed back into the world of dial-up! Kinda makes me wish some one would just shoot me!
I will work on tomorrows issue while I am intransite and hopefully have it ready for a quick send when I get there. The last day of this month my lighthouse.net and sault.com addresses will be buried. If you have been sending to them and not hearing from me that is because they all go to spam now and I just dump them. You can find my correct addresses at the bottom of any of my newsletters.

Tell me the pro's and con's of IE8. I am still using IE6 and  lots of things are beginning not to support anything but another Browser or IE8. A couple months ago I did upgrade to IE7 and it was a disaster for me. None of my software worked like it should or had in the past and the puter slowed down to a crawl.  Home built tower , windows XP home,SP3,P4, 150gig hd ,1 gig ram, kept cleaned up and up to date

Nancy ,Can you help me fix this please!! Whenever I try to view a video (like in a news story) all I get is a box with a smaller box in the upper left hand corner . I can view attachment that people send me in an email ,it just seems to be like news stories and some links that are video . I hope you understand what I am trying to say !!!I have a Dell computer ,running windows XP .IE browser . Thanks ,Linda
------------------
This issue appears to be caused by allowing the "ATi Catalyst Control Center" to display the associated system tray icon. With that tray icon disabled, the small box in the upper left corner of the desktop does disappear...and with it enabled, the box immediately reappears.
Check for any updated drivers and drivers that need updating while you are at it.. Would be a good idea to update your flash player too.

I have run Avast for quite awhile now and it is just great. However I am now getting a RED popup box every time I boot up asking me to either update to the Paid version or the Free one. I did the free one but still getting the popup. How can I disable it?
 
Thanks for all your help.

Question
I use Outlet Express and have folder names  ---Sent Items, drafts, Inbox, etc. on the left side. I also have folders in this column for  Things to keep, recipes, etc. Is it possible to send these folders to a CD or how can I go about saving the entire contents? I've been playing around with these things I call folders--and they might not be a folder-- and sure can't figure anyway to save. Thanks, Judy

Hey Nancy & Herd;
 
Hope you are feeling well, always thinking of you.  I have Dell Vostro 1500 Laptop running Windows XP.  My problem is a SD card.  I have a digital photo frame that I download pics to all the time.  Everything usually works okay.  This week, I downloaded some new pics from my camera--when playing back in the frame, this particular file says it is bad.  I put SD card back in computer and they show up--the files are also stored on the computer plus a backup USB device--they all show up in those places also.  When I went to download files to the SD card, it said something about a hidden file and I clicked okay.  But obviously, I am not doing something correctly--can you help me out??  Thanks in advance.

Nan, I've, just, spent 3 1/2 hrs with an HP tech from the Philippines...my HP printer stopped printing. With his "manipulations," we got it to print, however, NOT the "normal" way, ie, highlight a file, go to the upper, left hand portion of the screen, and hit "Print this file..."
 
He tells me that it's a Windows issue. I tend to believe him...the mess began with Windows' massive update. Now, I have to open the file, and, then hit the "print" icon and it works...has anyone else encountered this problem?

Now I can't get Windows Update page to run on my computer.  It looks for updates and never stops.  I let it go for 2 hours and still nothing.
The last Microsoft Updates said they all did not install either.  I can't get Updates to work to find out what has happened.
 
Sorry, but there is more to my problems.
I can't get into some security sites to run Virus/Trojan, etc. scans.
Microsoft Baseline Security won't run.. Trend Micro House Call won't run.  Kaspersky won't load.
I checked the Conficker Eye Chart  and it said I was ok.
I ran Windows Live Online Safety Scanner and it said I had 1 Trojan and 1 something else.  It did not remove them and did not tell me which ones they were...
 
I am a mess!!!!!!!!

I hope you understand why I did not include everything in one newsletter.. Yahoogroups would never allow it.
Your machine sounds like it is infected! You are going to have to wipe it and reinstall. Be very careful what you choose to save as you can not be sure what is and is not infected..
Before you wipe everything out try running a scan with system restore turned off.. It sounds like the inection may run deeper though.

Hi Nancy,
I got rid of the Kodak problem.  It was not in Add/Remove so I went to Kodak's site. It took a long time to find a way to get the answer.  They sent me the info to fix it.

KODAK Clear Utility


    You selected KODAK EASYSHARE Software



    You selected WINDOWS XP

     



    Installation Instructions for WINDOWS VISTA or WINDOWS XP Operating Systems

    IMPORTANT:

    • The Clear Utility removes KODAK EASYSHARE Software files that may not have been removed during an uninstall of the software.

    • Print this page before continuing.

    1. Click Download, then save the file to your desktop.
    2. Close all programs.
    3. Double-click the new *.exe  icon on your desktop.
    4. When the Download complete window appears, click Run.
    5. When the Kodak Clear Utility window appears, click the arrow to start the program, then follow the prompts.
    6. If the status indicator on the clear utility stops, check the status bar on your computer for an active security program. If a security program appears in the status bar, it may be prohibiting the clear utility from running. You must allow the clear utility to run on your computer before you can continue.
    7. When the task is complete, restart your computer.
     
    Computer still does not recognize camera...

     
    I still have the Windows Installer Clean Up problem.
    I found it in Add/Remove and uninstalled it, rebooted and tried to reinstall it. Still came up with this:
     
     
    Now I can't get Windows Update page to run on my computer.  It looks for updates and never stops.  I let it go for 2 hours and still nothing.
    The last Microsoft Updates said they all did not install either.  I can't get Updates to work to find out what has happened.

    Hi Nancy and all       
            You suggested trying restore to fix the problem with paper port.
    I tried that and discovered that restore doesn't work either. I remember
    that you told me before to disable restore and then enable it to get it
    working again. I have Vista now and I haven't been able to find out where
    to do that on vista. Can you tell me how to do that with vista?
    Thank you

    Per the following correspondence: I too use paperport and absolutely love it, have never found anything to compare. My scanner is a Visioneer6600 - After I went to IE8 I can no longer just hit my paperport icon on my desktop to do a scan... it comes up not connected to a scanner or hp something or other??? Works fine if I hit the scan button on the scanner.
    Don't know why this happened, and still works for me... Just thought I would mention that if anyone else is having a similar problem with paperport - to try what I did to see if it would work that way.
    And yes I have uninstalled, reinstalled, system restore and all that to no avail. I am happy with it as it is, so not looking for a fix.

    Hi Nancy I have a H P Pavilion running Home Premium Vista with Norton as my anti virus I know you recommend the free Avast anti virus quite often .Microsoft has recently come out with a free anti virus all so and I was wondering what you thought of it .If you haven't come across it yet this was the site for it. Microsoft.com/security_essentials/ I would appreciate any feed back on this program .Thank you.

    Hi Scotty
     
    I have a HP running Vista and it has had AVG installed on it
    since I bought it. I had some spare time this morning and went
    to load AVAST on it instead and AVAST wouldn't load probably
    because of a snippet of AVG let behind. I knew that  Microsoft
    essentials had had some good reviews during Beta and had just
    went commercial this month.
     
    The program installed properly on the first try. It ran an initial scan
    on a 300 gig drive in under thirty minutes. It did say you could continue
    using the computer but there was some slowing on my AMD
    4200 64X2. It seemed to have no problems with Malwarebytes
    running a scan although it recommended disabling full time
    scanners like Spybot' s Tea Timer.
     
    Microsoft does ask for a WGA validation before loading.
     
    It will update once a day normally but up to 3 times a day if necessary
    and the core updates once a month.

    Cancel                 Try again               Continue
    I have to hit any of the above several times for it to go away or do what I want it to do.
    Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
     
    Ruby
    ---------------------
    Did you install IE7 and/or Media Player 11 round about the time it stopped working? If so rollback and see if that fixes you. Another program that may be causing these issues is Norton. Do you have that on your machine? If yes you may want to uninstall it and replace it with Avast free edition.

    Hey Nancy & crew! Just wanted to thank Robert for his help on my SP3 problem. Back on the road again!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks again.
    Theo
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Thanks for your reply on my HP printer not printing envelopes.  Last time it worked but this time nothing has worked and I have reams of printed matter here that the 'techs' suggested that I try with nothing working.  I remembered sometime back about a year ago one of the US techs from HP printer section told me to try downloading hpdeskjet990C.  In frustration I did this and then made a custom size for the envelope I wanted and couldn't believe it.  It started printing right away and did a beautiful job.  Had to change 990c to my default printer but it works fine for everything else also.  Who knew, hope maybe this will help someone else that is having the problem.

    Thanks, Flowers

    Hi Nancy and all
    I have a HP computer with Vista. I have had it about 3 months. I used
    paper port with my scanner on this computer and on previous computers. I
    have used this program for a number of years so I don't want to learn a
    new one. I downloaded the new version for Vista when I got this computer.
    It worked for a while on this computer.  All has been well until
    recently. I am not sure when it changed. I have always saved everything
    in max files. Now when I edit the scanned item, It says the program will
    close. It doesn't save the scanned item. If I don't edit it does save. I
    have never had this problem before. I found that it works if I save in
    other file types. Does this have to do with windows updates? Does anyone
    know what caused this?
    Gordon
    -----------------------
    How about doing a system restore taking it back to before you upgraded your paper port?
    Will the older version still work with Vista? If not reinstalling the newer version after running a clean-up program such as Glary's Utilities or CCleaner can fix you up. Either can be found in any decent search engine.
    You may also want to try downsizing the size of your files and that should fix your scan/save problems..
    Nancy

    Me again.RE my previous question about IE on 10/12. HP laptop, AMD Turon processor, Vista w/SP2, IE7. I reset IE and it still shuts down when I try to print an email or a portion of one. If I put it in another window, it prints ok. Any other ideas? Using Avast and no bad stuff shows up in the scan. BTW- got about 1 1/2 inches of that white stuff last night. Finally melted about noon.  Hope everyone is having a good day!

    J.R. in Central NY
    ------------------
    Rule number 1.. No discussing white stuff!
    What I would like to know is if IE8 behaves the same way..
    The only other thing I can think of is uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling your printer..

    Hi Nancy, hate to bother you when you have more important personal matters to contend with but if you are still working on the Nerdy Buffalo I have a question for you.  It is same as I had before and you gave me instructions that worked and I cannot find it here in my messy desk.

    I cannot get my computer to print the 8.75 x 5.75 envelopes, Get paper mismatch.
    My Hallmark program has this listed in its envelopes but now for some reason it is not working either.  Microsoft Works also will not print when doing the 'custom' 8.75 x 5.75 envelope.  You gave me a simple fix and I cannot remember what it was.

    Sorry,  HP Pavilion, 2048 MB, 400GB with HP Photosmart c7280.]

    Hello Nancy,
    I am glad you are getting much better and up to doing things again..
     
    I have been having an annoying problem for the last week.  I keep getting an install of SFR trying to install at various times while I am on the computer.  It and Windows Installer are giving me fits..  Hopefully the screen shots I took will come thru..
     
     
     
    I also get error codes like 1706 and 1714.  I am the administrator and I don't know where or how to get to the things it wants me too.
    I have tried going thru "Search" and found nothing.
     
    I also have a problem with the Camera and Scanner Wizard.  It won't find my camera or my Scanner anymore.  Neither one shows up it the Control Panel Under "Scanners and Cameras" either.
    I uninstalled my Kodak M893IS Camera and Kodak Easyshare Software. and reinstalled it.  Easyshare finds my camera, but I do not like to use it.  I prefer to use the Windows system as I can put my pics where I want them without searching for them..
     
    Dell Dimension 8300, XP SP3, all up to date. Intel P4  3 gig, 120 gig HD with 75% free.
     
    Thanks for any help -- 
    MAKRLM in Northern Cal............
    ---------------
    The first error is from Kodak Easy Share.. If you are not using the software I would just remove it and let Windows take over finding your camera if it will. I just use the thumb drive readers on my machines.. Then go to your scanner manufactures website and find the software and drivers for your scanner.. Let me know if that cleans up your error messages..
