sorry JD
i mean both
BT end my browser
i cant get either to open maximised
is there a sercete to this
it has only just started
and ime stumped as to know why
marty
-
some how BT has gone back to miminise
when i open it
ive tried al sorts of fixes
i googled it
and some one said spread the page by pulling out the 4 corners
but that dosent help
is there no way round this
ime using vista
if that helps
thanks

I'd try, after maximizing the first window with BT, opening a SECOND window of BT and maximize that too. Close them both and your system should "remember" that ANY window should be maximized.
thanks JD
so far so good

I was watching television and one of those Bing! ads came on, you know the ones, where someone says something benign, and other people take that word or phrase and start going off on completely irrelevant tangent; Son, "Dad, can I borrow the car? Dad, "Father's day gifts and a reasonable price!" Mom, "Stockmarket prices have been ... " Sister, "Learn marketable skills at ..." Son, thinking, "What does all this have to do with my question?"
Got me to thinkin', what HAS my experience with Bing! been? I switched over to it completely when it went live as a kinda-sorta experiment, just to try something new. You know what came to my mind? That I never, since the day it came out, have had to go to "Page 2." Try as I might at that time, I couldn't even think of what the page turning tool looks like. "Where is it? What's it look like?" I do not at this minute know how to go to page two, I've never HAD to.
I must ALWAYS get the results I'm looking for on the first page, and now that I think of it, in the first few results. I barely remember looking further down the page. I do remember looking at all the results on page one, but it's so rare I actually remember the times it's happened.
With Google I remember going, sometimes, up to page ten (a number I chose at random to indicate a completely failed search), before I gave up and tried another search. I've reset the search parameters with Bing!, but it's when I don't get the results in the first few returns, and the second search almost always gives me what I needed.
I don't recall how long it's been around, but ... I'm satisfied.
That's WEB search, image search is similar to Google, pages and pages, but I'm probably looking for something other than "one" definitive result for images.
hi jd
i havent got bling on my sys
do you feel it is a better option than google
google has treated me great in the past
but if you think bling is better ide like to try it
were do i get it

hi team look what i found from the bbc
i dare say we have them here
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0
you've ever had to spend a lot of money on antivirus software, you'd be forgiven for wanting to take Fred Cohen aside for, to put it politely, a few choice words.
But although Mr Cohen is responsible for creating the first ever computer virus some 26 years ago, his pioneering research has in fact led the way in protecting computers from the threats that surfaced in the years to come.
He told BBC World Service's Witness programme about the day he made the discovery while studying at the University of Southern California.
After a neighbouring university created a Trojan horse - which allowed hackers to gain access to a machine - Mr Cohen realised that the Trojan could be programmed to duplicate itself.
This is the proverbial lightbulb going off.
"I was sitting there in the class and all of a sudden it dawned on me that if that Trojan horse copied itself into other programs, then all those programs would be infected, and then everybody that ran any of those programs would get infected and so forth.
"It was at that point immediately obvious that it was game over."
He discussed the idea with Len Adleman, another computer security expert at the university.
"Fred approached me and said he had this new type of computer security threat, and he began to describe what we now call viruses," recalled Mr Adleman.
"He wanted to run some actual experiments, in particular on the computer that I used.
"There was no point in running an experiment, since it was so obvious that it was going to work."
However, Mr Cohen insisted they make sure - and the first computer virus was born.
"In that moment, I pretty much understood the bad news.
"I spent the next five or six years of my life trying to find ways to protect against it and understanding the limits of what could ever be done."
Ethical dilemma
Armed with their new discovery, the pair faced a problem.
It had the potential to have a massive negative impact on the computing world. As academics, did they have an obligation to share their findings or should the vulnerability be kept secret?
They decided to publish the paper.
"If we told people about computer viruses, they could potentially protect themselves," said Mr Adleman.
"It was also at least my impression that computer viruses were inevitable, and were going to arrive whether Fred published or not.
WITNESS
Witness is a new daily programme from the BBC World Service bringing you back to the events that changed our world, told by the people who were there
It is broadcast every day at 0050GMT and 0850GMT
It is also available as a podcast
"In the end we decided to publish, but to not make the code that Fred put in his paper so explicit that an amateur could take it and produce computer viruses."
Mr Cohen agreed.
"This was going to happen one way or another. The real question was is it going to happen after somebody's done the research, and figured out what to do about it, or is it going to happen before the research is done - and then we're really in trouble."
Mr Cohen no longer researches viruses. Indeed, he believes that genuine research into possible threats has not happened for quite some time.
"As far as I can tell, somewhere around the late eighties or early nineties was the end of the real research related to computer viruses.
"There are businesses that want to make sure they keep making money by having cures that fix the last one, but not the next one."

hi joe here we found the problem of carbon
levees
if you produce a certain amount of carbon
you have to pay for that extra
ime not sure how this equates to developing countrys
they dont have the money so they keep on poluting
many big countrys
are the biggest poluters
china - usa- some parts of europe
can pay and still polute
so i feel that isnt the answer
here bizness round table is bitterly opposed to
to the notion of global warming
i was at a meeting several weeks ago
and the biz section was lambasting all those who believe in global warming
when it was ,my turn to speak
i made it short and quick
if i die of polution so will those who oppose it
there wont be any distincion
between the you who have it all
and us who have none
we will all be in that boat you want to build
i must mention the miagrents
from those islands under water
they hate the western powers
but what can they do
nothing
they have become skeptics from the other side of the fence
what to do
some one drop the bomb
and start again
at least that will be quick

have a good one my friend

hi team
take a read of this article
when videos are available ile post them
I wish one would wash up around here. It might cool things off for awhile.
All kidding aside, that sounds pretty serious!
hi joe
inside of ten years these things are becomming more frequent
we here in nz
attribute it to global warming
in the pacific
you cant talk people out of this conception
onces it was fifty fifty for and against
now you cant convince a kiwi
other wise
one other year one of these bergs
floated past the south island
visable to any one near the coast
at the time the super bowl was on in the usa
and some wit
asked if we could sell the berg to the americans
so they could build a super drome
and get the rewards from tourism
i know many americans do not believe in global warming
my answer is come live in one of the south pacific islands
some alread under water
and many doomed the ones at sea level
viti laevu has gone under
and the population has bin repatriated to australia and nz
i believe the natives have bin there for thousands of years
tho skeptics
have a right ot there opinions
like we all have
the only non believers in nz are big off shore biz
but ile have a chance to see this monster
later in 2-3 weeks
once videos are available ile post them in
this is twice as big as the last one

Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0 review
Bottom Line
Installing the free Microsoft Security Essentials will protect your system from malwareto a degree. But you'll get better protection from one of the other well-known free anti-malware products.
Pros
Free. Small download. Clean, simple user interface. Starts working immediately.
Cons
Poor protection against keyloggers, rootkits, and scareware. Just average protection against general malware. In testing, sometimes erroneously reported successful malware removal or blocking.
hi all who posted
thanks for your input
many people in my catergory will get caught
with this compatable thing
on scanners
until i installed mse
i had no problems with the other scanners
in this case it was turning the scanners off that
caused the trouble
as as proof
once i uninstalled mse
ive had no problems
i dare say many of you with more know how
than me will be abl;e to get round it
but there are millions of us in the same boat
how ever your posts have
made me more aware
i paniced because i have never exoerienced this problem before
so again thanks

i had a feeling some thing was wrong
as when i tried to open IE
it hung several times
for about a minute
and that is unusal for my compt
after several trys
i scanned with all my scanners
that was operating
the microsoft scanners found nothing
defender.mse
nor mrt
once i scanned with malwarebytes
it found these 4 trojons
i have to say i paniced as i
havent had a trojon before
but the malwarebytes instructions helped
as i quarentined them then
deleted later
no other scanner found these trojons
ime only a new user of malwarebytes
but after this it will be a regular
in the past defender
and mrt
havent been a problem until i installed this
mse
even avast was compatable with defender and mrt
had it not been for malwarebytes
i would have bin in the pooh
i feel it is the third party contract companys
were the trouble is
is it a rule in the usa
were companys like microsoft have to include
third party contract
when they bring out a new product
hey a friend just rang me he has had the same trouble
i feel better now as i though i was just whinging
it is ok for all the experts
but what about us mugs

A woman is standing nude looking in the bedroom mirror.
She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband,
'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly.
I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replies,
'Your eyesight's damn near perfect!'
He never knew what HIT him !

Are you sure MSE turned off the scanning and not the 4 trojans.
no ime sure it wasent the trojons
when i booted my compt all the scanner were red
this has happened throug out several weeks
and i had to go and active vate them
i guarentee it was that up date
ive since uninstalled it and my scanners are back to normal
in particular the automatic updating
which wasent happening before
as i used to have to up date manually
when i installed the program it
found malwarebytes and avast
as not essential programs and remimded me to
take them off my sys
but ive used these programs for a long time
and ive never ever had to worry bout malware
for me they can jam it right up there
gungas
i thought microsoft
would have learned by now people are becoming compt aware
and they can keep sending shit to us

hi team has any one installed microsofy security essentials
from windows updates
well i did and it turned off all other scanners
and as a result i got a trojon
accessing a science program
when i started my compt
all scanners had to be turned on
i turned on malwarebytes and scanned with it
it found 4 trojans
the mse
even turned of avast
jeez what the hells wrong with microsoft
that b--- dosent make them any friends
if it had of bin xp instead of vista this would not have happened
geez ime bloody angry
ive alwayes bin security aware
but this is the last straw

yo hitest
sorry to hear bout your daughter
ive only just read the thread
here in nz the swine flue is off the serious list
and i didnt realise it was still around the usa
until i saw on tv the medical usa
has warned about taking precaution
gee i hope your daughter is ok ime sure she will be
funny thing about the flue
there were only 89 deaths here
but they were all under
25yrs through other complications
which indicates they hadent built up anti bodies like the elderly
if i remember only three elderly died or got it bad
the medical association nz
said young people have attendency to resist it bad
if they dont have other health problems
so your daughter will be ok
i will be praying for her
tell her good luck from down under
and hurry and get better
