Hello Paul, On Friday, October 03, 2014 you wrote: JSL In addition, you mentioned the possibility of the anti-virus (McAfee) JSL hanging up the displaying of some messages when clicked on. As an JSL experiment, I disabled both the McAfee firewall (for 15 minutes) and JSL the McAfee anti-virus. It made no difference, some messages still JSL suffer delays before displaying. I was never a fan of McAfee and I JSL don't know why. I've always used AVG and never had a problem with it. JSL I'm considering removing McAfee from the computer and installing AVG. JSL I have not yet tried any of the suggestions regarding disabling the JSL touchpad as that is the least of my problems right now. If I don't JSL get her Bat! fixed, well, I try not to think of things like that. PB Before you tear your hair out, if you want to live dangerously, you PB might use Revo to do the full uninstall. From PB http://www.snapfiles.com/get/revouninstaller.html PB During the uninstall, you may get a pop-up from TheBat to interfere PB with the uninstall - just ignore and let Revo finish the job. Thank you Paul. Actually I've used Revo for years and never had a problem with it. Further experimentation leads me to believe that the firewall/anti-virus has nothing to do with the problems I'm having so I doubt I'll replace them with AVG for now. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.

Re: Can't enter registration code block
Hello TBUDLs, I've sent an email to RIT Labs this morning outlining the two major problems expressed in this thread. I'll keep the list posted as soon as I hear from them. -- TIA, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.

Re: Can't enter registration code block
Hello TBUDLs, I've received a response from RIT Labs which suggests that the problem with the key block is that I'm using the wrong key block. They will re-send the original keyblock for the name and email address I provided them in the return email I just sent. No mention was made as to why the first 56 characters of the (apparently wrong) keyblock appear before I even get a chance to paste in the entire (again, apparently wrong) keyblock. Their solution for the message-display-delay was to download and install v6.0.12 which supposedly will accept the original 5.2 keyblock. I assume they're referring to the one they send me. I am seriously considering buying an authorized copy ($99 from Newegg) of Windows 7 and trashing Windows 8 on this new machine. I will contact ASUS tech support to see if the machine will even let me do that. Stay tuned. -- TIA, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.

Doesn't Microsoft have a semi-official way to upgrade from 8 to 7, like they did a few years ago for those who wanted to upgrade from Vista to XP? -- Best regards MFPAmailto:2014-667rhzu3dc-lists-gro...@riseup.net The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.

What with all the bad press Win 8's been getting I guess that would be an upgrade. I'm not aware of any offer like that but it certainly would shine MS's image if they were to offer something like that. On the other hand, I wonder how many copies of Win 7 Egghead and others sell (which profits Microsoft)? I've yet to hear back from RIT Labs on the code block they were supposed to send since I supplied them with the name and email address of the original purchaser. If a new code block works and upgrading to v6.0.12 clears up the display-delay problem, I will probably continue to plow through the other problems Win 8 has created with other software (KeePass, so far). But it won't take much for me to place my order with EggHead. I'm really tired of all this pee-pee-caca. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.
