I always select the one Tom mentioned. I find it very helpful. However, if I've closed all the windows when I exit I have it set up to open certain pages. I accomplish that by opening those I want and then in the Home Page section click on Use Current Pages. Best of both worlds.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] 4 year compaq service rant/question
I had a similar problem with my computer and it turned out to be one of my usb ports and/or my card reader. These are the kinds of things you don't bring to the repair guy so it only happens at home. Look for something like that and see if it makes a difference. Holly On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 5:08 PM, Theresa Ramseyer tlr28...@gmail.com wrote: Hi folks, I'm sorry for not replying sooner. This is the first time I've been on a computer to type; my non-smart phone can be a pain for all but short emails, and I keep hitting the clear button once too often! My computer tech guy, David, is wonderful. He didn't charge me a thing. I used to go to Best Buy, because that's where we buy our computers, so that's why I checked there when neither of us could come up with anything. Anyhow. Last Tuesday night I was going along like normal, having Firefox and Thunderbird and Trillian and Avast and Word... you get the picture. I moved the mouse to change windows, and it froze. Then everything froze. I did have a blinking cursor on trillian, which I had just left - the Trillian window was still open - but that was it. I waited a bit, pressed escape, and so forth, all to no avail. Then I hard rebooted. Ctrl-Alt-Delete. I can't remember if I had to go to the power button or not. Didn't come up on reboot, but gave me long beeps. Googled that on the phone and found it was likely memory. Ok, no big deal, texted my friend and decided to run it over to David in the morning. Checked Wens morning, nothing but the beeps. Took it to David. He plugs it in; she boots right up. No charge. I take her back home, get everything plugged back in, nothing, except different beeps. Short and long. Call David, let him listen - these sound like motherboard. Not what I want to hear, but not much I can do about it. Pack her up, and back over to David. He takes it; there's 11+ people ahead of me, plus he has to go set up some networks, etc. Figure on a few days. Friday afternoon he calls. She boots fine; he's had multiple programs up and running, no problems. Avast has updated and scanned and found nothing. He has a OCC or an ICC, some program like that that puts the machine through everything and anything, some parts at 110%. Passed everything with flying colors. So he's baffled. No charge. Bring her home, same thing. Sometimes she will boot, but if she does, then she freezes either right then or when I try to move the mouse. I ran the Compaq diagnostics before letting Windows boot, and she passed with flying colors. I've moved the plug in USB modem to the back USB ports. I've tried moving the whole system to another circuit in my bedroom. Sometimes it's just black screen. No beeps again, though. Sometimes I get the bios screen, and it says to wait for Windows to continue, and sometimes after a several minutes wait, it does. But I get the same thing - freezes. I have finally given up. I don't want to mess up the hard drive. I have an XP computer that I bought at a church rummage sale, but I've found out that the girl did not take off the password as she said she had. So, after I get Choral Society paid for for winter semester, hopefully this coming Tuesday, I'm going to see if David will at least break the password to the small computer and backup the hard drive on the sick computer for me, just in case. Thanks for the replies, and again, I'm really sorry about not getting to the library quicker. We've had some other things break lately, never rains at our house unless it pours!

Couldn't get Thunderbird to sort your messages correctly, etc. Sorry you couldn't get that fixed. I don't know what else might have happened to your PC, but here are a couple thoughts: I don't think most people consider PC's disposable. Maybe what the Best Buy guy meant was that since new computers can cost as little as $500, you have to think twice about paying a shop $300 in repairs - especially if the PC is 4 or more years old. I think Best Buy charges WY too much for repairs. It sounds like your tech guy charges a lot too. I think most people have a techie type person somewhere in their orbit who will gladly help out. Is there anyone of your friends or family that knows a friend of a friend who is tech savvy and can help for free? Just a thought. I help all my relatives and friends gratis. Anyway... not knowing what your PC is doing at home but not at the shop, it's hard to suggest a fix. One free thing that would be a last resort before paying a shop money would be to reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows from scratch. Lots of times computers get s messed up with conflicting software that the only fix is to erase everything and start from scratch
Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Re: New Computer
Donk, you mixed me up with someone else I think. I'm getting an Intel processor so that won't apply. I'll talk with my guy and see what he says about all of this. I'm going to bring your postings with me so I don't forget anything. Thanks, once again. Holly On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 6:52 PM, Donk d.knier...@verizon.net wrote: Win8 comes with a feature called Hyper-Virtualization. Basically this creates a virtual machine, which kind of takes a section of RAM and makes your system think it is a separate hard drive. Then, you can install XP as you normally would. Then you can install your old apps just like you normally would, but they'll go into the virtual XP. This all happens inside Win8. Supposedly, you'll be able to click the icon of an XP program and it will automatically open in the virtual XP, instead of Win8. In other words it's seamless and you won't even notice you're leaving Win8. Free virtual machine software has been around for years. Other free programs to create a VM are Oracle Virtual Box, or VMWare (I forget the company). The downside to VM's is that they are pretty geeky to set up. To be honest I've never done one, but the instructions can be a bit daunting - even the Hyper-V included with Win8. Another downside is that lots of people report they can be flakey - meaning there are glitches like XP not seeing USB devices you plug in, and possible probs with mouse operation, etc. Also, you mention games. VM's, as far as I know, don't support 3D, so most current major games won't run on them. Simple games probably will. VM's are mainly designed for developers who write programs and need to quickly test them in different operating systems. Win8 also has a compatibility mode which is much simpler to use. You just tell Win8 to run your program in XP Mode and it will try to trick the program into thinking you have XP. Win7 also has this feature, and I've tried it, but still some of my XP programs won't run - possibly they've improved it in Win8. Holly, I know you mentioned you'll have an AMD processor. Some AMD's won't support Hyper-V. If you give the exact model I can check it out. I think all Intel i-core chips will support it. You def have ample RAM and HD space to run a VM! So the main downside to using a VM for your XP apps is (for me) the installation of the VM. Here's a site with a good explanation of Hyper-V: http://windows.appstorm.net/how-to/virtualization/is-hyper-v-in-windows-8-worth-using/ But don't despair! I believe MOST of your software will run fine on Win8. Most of mine did. Holly, I'm quite certain your version of Word or MS Office will run fine - mine did. I don't think MS wanted to alienate and anger a zillion old office users, so they made sure it would work. There might be a couple apps that fail - but you can find replacements for them like I did. It'll be ok. :-) Donk Donk, You've been talking about dual booting but I've heard Win8 has a virtual machine running XP. I thought that could run my old games or programs. Is that wrong?

I continue to have trouble accessing my all programslist and have problems with sound. I had planned to add RAM and a new sound card in my 7 year old computer. The computer guy I spoke with said the sound might be on my motherboard and that could be a sign that it's days are numbered. I've held onto it this long because I didn't want to upgrade Windows from XP. I have so many old programs that I'm not sure will work on Windows 8. But the slowness of my computer and these other issues make me realize I have to bite the bullet and get going. I always have my computers built to my needs and have gotten an estimate. I remember reading somewhere that you should definitely not get a AMD processor and that the best was an Intel something. He has listed Intel Core i5 3330 CPU. Also a Gigabyte 1155 Motherboard. The rest seems good, a Western Digital hard drive, for example. I'm also getting a cover for one of my old hard drives that holds a lot of my art stuff so I can selectively access it without loading up my new 1 TB hard drive. Yikes! Any other tips you can give me. I'm stalling a bit because it really worries me about my programs. I can, however, keep the old one because I won't be removing the C: drive.

I was going to say that 2GB of ram should be fine for you... but then you mentioned you do a lot of graphic work and open lots of browser tabs. So... I do think adding some ram would help speed things up. Of course you know that a main reason for a slow computer is stuff running in the background. So go to Start, type MSCONFIG, click the Startup tab and take a look at how many programs have check marks next to them. Each one of these starts running at bootup, and uses up system resources. Uncheck any that you don't absolutely need running all the time (most can be manually started when you need them). Here's a website that will explain what each one does: http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php Just type the program name into the search box.

To recap the situation, we were in the process of opening in Safe Mode to see if the Program list was available from there. I had asked how to open in Safe Mode and you responded to hit F8 until it opened. Then you responded about accessing from the Accessories folder which I couldn't do because I didn't have the list. Okay, this morning when I opened my computer I had the message asking if I wanted to open in Safe Mode or go to Restore. I decided to go Safe Mode to see if the list was there and it was. Then I went to restore from accessories on the list and restored back to June 4. The computer closed and then opened and, after a considerable wait, the list appeared. Happy Day. Okay, I started to do my usual and opened Firefox to check my gmail accounts and everything was super slow (actually it's been that way for a couple of days)and although I finally opened gmail and looked at my messages I haven't been able to reply. It says Loading rich text and shows Loading but nothing happens. I'm able to open my forums but can't reply to emails. I've been aware that I probably need more Ram since I currently have 2G and my computer will take 4G. Also my sound card is failing or has failed. If I could remember how to open the box I could probably take care of this but in the meantime I don't really want to be without the computer for any length of time. Sorry this is so long. I'm running XP and that's the reason I'm hanging on because so many of my programs won't run with the newer Windows versions. I usually get a new computer built every five years and it's at least six now.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] No Program List
Wow, I may be in big trouble. The Run feature will not accept RSTRUI.EXE. They say there isn't any such file. So I decided to try, as you said, to open in Safe Mode. ButI forget how to do that. I can't remember when I did it last. Can you give me a step by step?

If not, how about using System Restore to go back to a date previous to when this problem started. Start, type RSTRUI.EXE in the run/search window. Other than that, your symptom likely indicates a pretty serious problem with your windows system files - or a virus. Have you tried booting into Safe Mode to see if the list appears normally? If so, it might indicate you've got a background program or virus interfering with the appearance of the list.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Email program suggestion? - just about ready to scream
Teresa, why do you need anything more than Gmail? I have other accounts, one from my domain, the one from my provider, etc. but I use Gmail for everything. I have three separate accounts for various uses and then filter the messages into folders. It works very well for me. One good feature is that they sort spam away from your mailbox so you can either delete them periodically or have them automatically go away after a certain period of time. Holly On Sat, Jun 8, 2013 at 7:40 PM, Theresa tlr28...@gmail.com wrote: No, you don't have to close your ears, I'll scream quietly, I promise. :-) While I used to love my Thunderbird email program, I started looking through the folders tonight. It's been a few days since I really checked to see what I've received. I don't have a clue about what the program is doing/has done. Several emails I have multiple copies for, some as many as five; the filters work when they want to, and aren't even unchecking as they used to when there was a problem. I spent at least 15 minutes again today deleting emails from Gmail online because either it or Tbird or both can't receive/send the message that messages have been deleted - so when Tbird picks up, the messages are still in Gmail (we decided once that it was probably dial-ups fault - and I have POP3). I have, while Tbird was off, gone in under Windows Explorer and looked at the data folders - there are folders and emails in there that I deleted ages ago, from all 3 of the accounts that I get. You all know how I feel about not being able to automatically sort the filters. HP's diagnostics says my hard drive passes all the tests. I scan regularly with my avast!, and ran the online scanner with bit defender a couple of days ago, and both report that I am clean. Getting ready to run bd again, because avast!'s daily run says I'm fine. I loved Eudora. For a long while Tbird was a great replacement. (I'm running Windows 7 Home, by the way.) I get 2-400 emails a day. I love that Thunderbird is non-Microsoft. I like the ease of transferring and adding and subtracting folders. I like the relative ease of backing up my filters and data. I wanted/want something that's actually being worked on, for support. Any suggestions for replacement? I would definitely appreciate them. I have several folders, and definitely some to keep emails, so I don't feel I can just try programs randomly. I want something reliable, not Microsoft, where I can sort filters automatically, it won't lose emails, backs up at least decently well, can handle several accounts (at least 3) with many emails a day, and sorts/filters like it's supposed to. I suppose I'm looking for a dream program?

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Dual Monitors
I defaulted everything and the distortion is gone. The only thing is that the icons are tiny but that's okay. In everything except the desktop, I can increase the size of things with CTRL/+. You know the funny thing is that the latest update of Firefox has an Option pull down but doesn't seem to have the ones they used to. I thought I could change the text size that way before. At least I can't find it but CTRL/+ works. Oh, by the way, both monitors are Samsung the older one is SyncMaster 9333N and although I saw it listed somewhere I can't find the name right now of the newer one. Once again, Donk, thank you so much. Don't know what I'd do without you when I get into these pickles.

Plus, you don't want to set the resolution to higher than your monitor supports. It's best (for appearance sake) to run a monitor at its native resolution. What's the brand and model of the monitor that is distorted? I would try going into NCP and go down the list for each category. Each category should show an option (usually at the top) to reset default values. So I would go through all the categories and reset the defaults. But of course leave the dual monitor category setup the way it is. See if that helps. Donk On 4/15/2013 7:57 PM, Holly wrote: It's me again.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Dual Monitors
Hi, I thought I'd get a jump on things since my computer couldn't find the drivers and so went to download the new one.

By the way, I now have two primary monitors since it evidently doesn't recognize my Multi-Mon program, That may be fixed when I get the driver though. Oh, and another by the way, the text is fine now. I'm not sure about the screen resolution because things look kind of pulled out but that may be normal and I just don't remember.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Dual Monitors
Okay, I have two monitors with the primary on the left and the secondary on the right as it was before. The only things that aren't the same is the resolution distorts the screen so, for example the Firefox icon is not round. When I first installed the NVIDIA it was round but with the fooling around to get the two monitors separate and not showing the same thing I guess the resolution changed as well. What I'm going to do is wait and not do any more until I reboot and see what I have. I use John's Background switcher and it's working now too so that's great. I'll let you know how it is tomorrow. Thanks so much, Donk. I will get back to you on the javascript thing but I'm not really sure if the problem is still there because I haven't noticed it during all of this. I didn't get anything else done today but I feel like we accomplished something.

[A-1-Computer_Tech] Dual Monitors
I have two Samsung monitors and the one on the left has been set as the primary and the one on the right the secondary. All of a sudden yesterday when I started up they are reversed. I've looked everywhere I can think of to see how to change it mostly because the tight one is older and is a bit narrower. If this weren't the case I could just move them around on my desktop except the cord to the left one isn't long enough for me to get it where it needs to be. Do you have any ideas about how this might have happened and how I can get it back to where it's been for several years. Another issue which appears to be a Google/gmail one is that this text I'm trying to type is really raggedy. Doesn't appear to be happening anywhere else except here. Thank you so much for your help.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Flash Player
Thanks so much for responding, Donk. No, I did all that already and it doesn't block the download of the file and even so I closed it and tried downloading a fresh copy just in case. The insecure comment was from Secunia Personal Software Inspector. It tells me when programs are insecure, end of life or patched among other things. Anyway, the problem lies when I try to execute the download. Everything goes okay until the Adobe Flash Player Installer opens and the Install button isn't accessible.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Flash Player
Donk, I just heard from the Adobe Flash Player forum as follows and you were right, it just was so invisible: Again! This problem comes up about once a week. I have asked the developers to change that terrible color scheme on the installation panel, but so far they have not gotten around to it... There is a little checkbox on the left of 'I have read and agree...' that must be checked before the INSTALL button becomes active: Now we all know. Thank you so much, Donk. You are a blessing.

But if you are saying that you aren't able to install some MS updates - like the .net Framework, I would first try lowering or temporarily disabling some of your security and anti-virus settings to see if you're able to download and install them - then change the settings back if you want. There have been some known issues about being unable to install the .net Framework, but MS suggests disabling your security apps while trying to install to see if that works.

MSCOREE.DLL Security Update on it, which that *newer* program depends on to be able to run, you are receiving the error message when it doesn't find it. That is really the only explanation that fits your situation, as Mscoree.dll does not belong on your system. I've forgotten if Windows 98 had Event Viewer on it or not, but if it does, you can use it to get a more detailed error message, which will tell you which program is attempting to load Mscoree.dll. Go to Start, Run, and type eventvwr.msc on the command line of the Run dialog, then hit Enter, or click the OK button with your mouse. The Event Viewer will come up, and any errors will have an icon on their line in the log file, that looks like a red circle with a white X in it next to the word error. Right click the line the error message is on, and select Properties from the pop up menu to see a more detailed description of what the error is about, which will hopefully have the name of the offending program in it. At that point, you will know which program is attempting to load the missing .dll file, and can proceed to uninstall it, which will eliminate the error message. There is also the possibility that some hacker wrote his virus code to depend on the Mscoree.dll as well, and you have become infected with a virus or trojan, that was targeted at the newer versions of Windows. Either way,, a look in the Event Viewer's log file will point out the culprit so you can get rid of it.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] DeFault Settings
I'm grabbing on to this subject for a couple of reasons. I am running XP Pro and don't find the Manage, right click, My Computer. I go to My Computer the old fashioned way (or whatever) and don't see disk management anywhere. Can you direct me? Second, I have two USB hubs, one an old one with 4 connections where I get the warning that I should use the newer version. I also have a new one with 4 connections. My flash drives only appear when I plug them in the old connections so I don't have the advantage of the faster speeds. (That is the advantage, isn't it?) When I try to see which connections are which I'm completely lost. Here is a picture of my drive setup. It lists all these drives (G through J) and then my external drive is K and the two flash drives pick up the later letters L and M. First of all I don't have any G, H, I and J drives and how can I get them removed from the list. I think that will then move the others up to those letters? Thanks for your help.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] DeFault Settings
Thanks, Trouble. There's a further choice, Computer Management/Storage and then you get to Disk Management. Just for the heck of it I tried to change the drive letters for the USB ports but that didn't work. Now I'm going to see about deleting the extras and maybe that will move them all up. I looked and I can delete them from the Device Manager location but I will wait to hear what you all think about that. It appears to me that if I plug a flash drive in it will just bring up another letter so the four removable disk drives could be deleted without a problem Of course, that's a moot point since the one remaining usb slot on the new hub doesn't see the drive. It works fine with my microphone, my camera cards and the external drive so that's okay. Let me know about deleting G, H, I and J.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Deleting
Jim and Stacy, I think her question might have been that whoever she was talking with was confused with her objective. I think she just wanted to delete files to make her computer faster and they were talking about someone accessing the files later like if you gave the computer to someone else. Then a program would have to be used to overwrite those files. Or am I mixing two queries? Holly On Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 11:18 AM, jpurcell jpurc...@wi.rr.com wrote: STACY, what I did previously, it is still there. What you mean I assume is that files that you deleted seem to have come back. Two possible explanations for that: a. those files got created again or b. they did not get deleted. I would say that either is possible. One thing never to do is to delete a file that has an extension of .exe, .dll, .com, .bat, etc. .tmp files are temporary files and can usually be deleted with impunity. Cookies are not actually required, and not usually harmful. Whether they slow down a computer is not always clear. If the OS has to go through a large number of files as it does it's thing, that can slow things down. My understanding of the most common software things that slow down computers are those programs that are run at startup and that stay running. When you first get your computer there are usually not many of those. When you install new programs the installer often loads a lot of junk to run at startup. Most are not necessary, even for the program you are installing. Here's how to get rid of many of those. Run MSCONFIG. To do this go to Start [bottom left of screen] then click run. This shows a box where you can type text. Type msconfig then click OK. A program will open that has several tabs, click 'startup' to view what programs run on startup. Notice that these items have check marks, these can be clicked to remove them. The names of these files can be confusing. None of these is absolutely necessary for the running of your computer. You could uncheck them all and then restart the computer. A few of them will be replaced, like ctfmon [or something like that] No point in unchecking it, it will be replaced with an unchecked one. You can research start up programs on Google, just type 'start up' or something like that. Of course sometimes it is hardware problems that cause a slow computer. Temperature is one of those, a computer running hot can run slow as a result. Not enough memory [that's memory not hard drive space] can cause a slow computer. One gigabyte or memory [ram] tends to be optimum for most computer. Adding more is not likely to help much.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] help needed desperately
Good tip, Donk, I'll keep that site in mind. Thanks. Holly On Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 11:37 AM, Donk d.knier...@verizon.net wrote: One sure fix is to start a new account like someone else mentioned. I'm not a big fan of Hotmail - I've always found that I got the most spam from them than from any other email service. You might try Google's Gmail instead. Other than that I'm not sure how an ad is being attached to your emails. You know that with Hotmail there's always a little ad on the bottom of every email. But I'm guessing that this Chinese ad is more intrusive than the normal ad? One thing to check is if you use any kind of special Toolbar or Browser Helper. Sometimes these will put ads all over the place including in emails. Some Toolbars are ok - like Google Toolbar, or Yahoo Toolbar - but some are mostly just adware or spyware. Personally I don't use any toolbars because they take up screen space, slow down browsing, and most are ad supported one way or another. Check in Control Panel, Add-Remove Programs (in Vista I think it's Control Panel, Programs, Installed Programs), and look for any toolbars that are installed and un-install them (unless you like and use them). Also, go to Start, Run, and type Msconfig (in Vista just type Msconfig into the run box). Click the Startup tab. If you have a lot of checked items go to this site to find out if any might be adware or spyware: http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php Just type the name of the startup item into the search box and you'll get a result that tells what the item does, and if it is needed. If you find anything unsavory, or even unnecessary, just uncheck it and reboot. When you reboot you might see a box saying that you've made changes to the startup list - just check the box to do not show this message again, and you'll be fine.

DogDoggieDiva, I think it's possibly because we are from different countries and have different ways of expressing ourselves that it does seem like some people are questioning someone else's integrity and sometimes their intelligence.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] No picture
Stephanie, Did you right click the box and view the picture. If it doesn't show then the picture is no longer there. This happens many times. If it does show, go back and right click and copy image location. You can copy it to word pad or something and then. Check to see if your firewall may be restricting your view of the pictures. If so, you can add the site to your allowed sites. use Zone Alarm and, when this happens, I go to the privacy page and add the location to be allowed. Seems like a lot to do to see a picture but, for example, when doing a tutorial as I do oftentimes the instructions or setting are shown in a screen shot and are essential to doing the work. When I write tutorials I always show the settings along with the screen shot for people who can't view the pictures. Of course, I may not be hearing your question right. Is this on all pictures you try to access or just on emails?

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Look what happened to me
Hi, folks, I was sorry to have this happen to me but it did trigger some great ideas/suggestions. I think the way hackers got into my account (my password was strong and not easily found) was the way they got into Sarah Palin's account. They got a hold of the name of the account (very, very easy to do) and then, because of so much information on the web were able to answer the security question. I don't remember what mine was but you know that anything like your mother's maiden name or such like that is available on line if it's anywhere in cyberspace. Well, anyway, I've changed my password and my security question and am doing the same on all of my important financial accounts. Suggest you all do the same.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Mouse Problems
This mouse is new, I just replaced my old one a month ago when it failed. My problem with the cordless is that they don't, to the best of my knowledge, make one with a roller ball. My main pleasure is doing graphic arts and, although I have a tablet, I can manipulate very well (possibly better) with the roller ball. The funny thing is I started with the roller ball thinking I could encourage my husband to get interested in the computer but that didn't work and I am hooked on it. Holly I really appreciate all of your help here and admire your expertise but I have to point out in many cases (such as mine) we have to keep repeating the information stated in our initial or early postings. I'm afraid I notice this all the time here. Human nature?

OK, that doesn't sound like a USB problem, it sounds like the mouse itself. Mice are one of the things I have to keep replacing. I use a cordless one because I don't like the slight tug of the cord. But if one can put up with a corded mouse they are very inexpensive.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Mouse Problems
Ian, I responded to your suggestion about SP3 with the fact that the problem occurred before I installed SP3 and if I have further problems, I'll try uninstalling it. You tweaked me into googling to see about a cordless mouse with a trackball and see that Logitech has one. Too bad I didn't realize that a couple of months ago when I bought my TRACKMAN replacement. Someone else said something about unplugging the cordless mouse I have and that might solve the problem. My wireless mouse is an adjunct to my Wacomb Tablet so I'd have to unplug that, I guess. Actually, I wonder if I could remove that and only plug it in when I want to use it. H. Thanks, once again, all.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Mouse Problems
A mouse with a ball. When I had to use the regular style mouse I always put the pad on my lap and that's where my trackball mouse goes now. Wouldn't like to be restricted to one spot, it's so tiring. The Trackman I have has the ball on the left and I move it with my thumb and then the left and right buttons are used with the forefinger and the ring finger. Then there's a scroll in the middle that you manipulate with your middle finger. The only finger that's not busy is the pinky:0) Holly On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 8:58 PM, jpurcell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Holly, You tweaked me into googling to see about a cordless mouse with a trackball and see that Logitech has one.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Mouse Problems
Thanks, Donk, The mouse is installed in the port on the back of my computer. I tried it in a usb slot when I first bought it a few months ago but it didn't want to work that way so it came with an adapter so that's what I used.. I also installed the new software that came with it so believe the device drivers are okay but checked it anyway and my software is up to date. So far I've been able to get it to work again by restarting the computer but, gosh, it's scary. Holly On Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 8:41 PM, Donk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This might be a USB problem. I'm assuming the mouse (mice) are USB? Do the mice start working if you unplug and then re-plug the USB cable? If so, then it's likely USB related. If the mice are plugged into a hub try plugging them into a port on the back of the pc (actually just try 1 of them - you don't need 2 mice, heh). If you've got a lot of USB devices the mouse might not be getting the power it needs - maybe try to limit the number of USB device that are running all the time. Other thoughts: Update the mouse drivers to the latest version from the maker's website. Check Device Manager to be sure your USB controllers are shown as working properly. You could try reinstalling the USB controllers from Device Manager (just remove them and reboot to let Windows reinstall the drivers). Look at this page for instructions on how to turn your hardware acceleration down - http://www.deskshare.com/Resources/articles/dmc_turnoffhardwareacceleration.aspx Turning it down just 1 notch (instead of all the way) might help with mouse pointer probs. Worth a try if all else fails. Good luck, Donk Holly wrote: Every once in a while I open my computer and the mouse isn't working.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] simple (?) question...I think
I was wondering if you could click off the Auto Complete and then later put it back on to have the things you want on there from that point on. I like the drop down menus, especially in situations like gmail where I have several addresses and like to sign out and sign in quickly. But some addresses that I accidentally typed in are still there haunting me. Holly On Fri, Aug 22, 2008 at 10:10 AM, Ian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think the question was about Auto Complete.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] simple (?) question...I think
Ian, here's a screenshot about what I mean. These addresses don't appear in my address book. I've colored over the unwanted addresses. I looked for a place in Gmail to change the Auto Complete and couldn't even find tools. So although you didn't say to go to the browser, I look there too. I use Firefox and followed from Tools to Options to tabs (no message tab apparent) and still didn't see anything. Then I went to Windows and didn't see it there. I know I've seen it somewhere but can't seem to find it right now. This is just an annoyance and very minor but my curiosity gets the better of me sometimes. Holly.

It far better to have this free form filler that you control than rely on a browser managing your log in's. In Gmail open your your address book and delete those old address's you not longer use or alternatively go into the Tools menu/Options/Message tab and take the tick out of Auto Compete there.

Can we get one thing clear now, can you play a music CD for instance OK? If the answer is yes, can hear the music OK and it of listenable quality then we can assume that the soundcard is functioning OK and has the correct drivers installed. It is perfectly possible that while playing music or a similar sound source, that you may have plugged the microphone into the speaker socket by accident, in which case it is highly likey the microphone is now damaged as a result. A microphone provides an output voltage of millievolts (mV) and a speaker out is in the range of Volts (V) which is a 1,000 times higher. So I suggest that perhaps your best way forward now is to take the computer to a repair shop somewhere and let them try to sort it out for you. They will have the added advantage to any of us here on the forum of actually being able to see and hear what is happening. I can say with all honesty, that the advise you have been given so far is 100% accurate and in most cases would have resulted in positive outcome. We cannot see or hear what you can and that is the vital link in the chain.

Anyway, I just downloaded Weather Channel and Weatherbug. When I try to change location on Weatherbug, it brings me to the screen, I can change the location, but the screen will not enlarge enough for me to hit the save button. I thought it would be simple and all I would have to is expand it, but it is not letting me. On Weather channel, when I hit the Desktop screen, it is also cut off and I am unable to expand.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] No sound
You will probably get answers from some of the techys but I'd suggest you go to Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices. There are tabs and go to Volume. There you can adjust the volume and have an icon placed on your tool bar where you can regulate the volume when necessary. You may be on mute. That's one suggestion.
