  1. I am so sorry that you are having such scary problems. Have they done some scans, cat scan, mri, etc? A friend was having momentary blackouts (non-drinker!) a few years ago, and they did scans, and found that it was TIAs. So they put her on medication to help prevent them. I'm afraid I don't know just what the meds were though. Is your blood pressure way up there, all the time, or when even just these episodes happen? If all the time, then try eating 4 to 5 stalks of celery a day to reduce the blood pressure. Hubby and I have been doing that for several months, and both of us are down to near
  2. Is your computer male or female? A pastor of one church who was previously a sailor, was very aware that ships are addressed as "she" and "her". He often wondered what gender computers should be addressed. To answer that question, he set up two groups of computer experts. The first was comprised of women, and the second of men. Each group was asked to recommend whether computers should be referred to in the Feminine gender, or the masculine gender. They were asked to give 4 reasons for their recommendation. The group of women reported that the computers should be referred to in the masculine
  3. Thats terrible Tman, is it TIA's that you have? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think so. I had triple bypass heart surgery 9 yrs ago. I had a mini-stoke a couple of yrs ago and lost my speech for about 30 minutes. Now the sight problem is happening. One Doc says it could be migrains, another says it could be TIA's. Either way, you know how hard it is to find something that is intermittent. Sometimes you just have to wait until the problem becomes constant and then you have time to run test to find the problem. Not going to worry about it until I need to worry. By the way Chappy, I used to be on
  4. Thank you Tman70..you deserve a pat on the back for putting this post up as a stand alone....good work.. stop by tt's bar and we'll buy you a few rounds of your favorite libation.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was afraid that everybody would not know what Iceflyer and JSKY's post contained. I wanted it to be in the open so nobody could say it was buried too deep for people to know it was there. A person with "Honor" will do the right thing----even if it leads to their own destruction. Chappy and Pete and others on this board have that quality as far as I am concerned. The fact that they have
  5. on Tuesday 8/23 will be the one year anniversary of these forums <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll be there. Is it alright if I bring a diet coke as I don't drink?
  6. Letter from Chappy to G4 members Well, it lasted longer than I thought it would. I honestly thought it would be deleted that night. Then again, I thought they would all be in bed asleep, since that is what one said Chappy did. " Sunday August 21, 2005 10:52 PM (NEW!)

    The Full Story

    Chappy, We who are from the old TTV boards know you and all the other mods. All of you are great with helping those of us who are still learning. I have never posted a question that was not answered with respect. Now G4 is allowing profanity, porn links(as long as you say that is a porn link), and "kiddies" to be mods. The "uncouth" and "immature" are now in charge over there. If some one cannot make a post without using swear words of any kind needs a course in manners and a good dictionary. I choose not to wallow in filth. Class will tell and Chappy you and Pete and all the others have "cl
  10. There are a couple of websites that just started having this "Web search Results" box popup and I can't seem to adblock it in Firefox or Avant. I don't see anything in the Hijackthis Log that might cause it. Just wanted another opinion. Thanks
  11. Hi B Do you think this is coolweb?? "Web Search Results" Just wondering. Hi tenmm, I would like to see the url's in the logfile before I decide what it is. B Tenmm and B I had downloaded the new cwshredder and ran it. Can't remember the new number, but it was just updated recently. Anyway it found nothing wrong. I just drove 8 hrs back home and it will be several days before I go back to my son's house. I am now reinstalling all of my programs on my new 30 gig hard drive that all of you have helped me get going. I will in the next day or two take my other son's 15 gig hd out and install a new

  13. Thanks I have always used spywareblaster,ad-aware,spybot and a2 all current and updated. Nothing comes up in any scan. My question is, in firefox I adblock the links in the box(web search results) it still pop ups only there is nothing in it. Is there some way to adblock the box itself? Also what setting do I make to stop the Help and Support page from loading when I go to safe mode?
  14. I am using Wme and Firefox 1.0. The first question is how do I stop Help and Support file from opening when I go to safe mode? I have forgot what settings I should make. The second question is when I go to a couple of web sites I regularly visit I have noticed I am getting a popup box called "Web Search Results" with a bunch of sites in it. If I adblock the sites, the box just pops up as empty. How do I get rid of the box itself? This shows in firefox as well as IE. Thanks
  15. Thank you. I could not remember how it was done. Everything is normal now.
  16. I recently used "open with" to open a file and I selected word pad, by mistake, which was the wrong program. Now whenever I right click and select "open" it use's that same program. Is there a way to reset "open with" in W98se and Wme so I can select another program instead of having it open with the wrong program? Thanks.
  17. Thanks maxdog4 for the converter program. I'll check it out later. I can convert my files using image converter or Mssnap 3. My problem is when I use the PaperPort Viewer and open a file, I can not see the whole page. Therefore I can not capture the whole page, only what is showing in the screen. If I zoom out to make the whole page appear, then I can not read it when I convert it as it is too small. So I have to copy the top half and then the bottom half. I was wondering if there is a way to get the whole page in viewer since I can't scroll or is that feature only in the paid version. I don't
  18. I can only "save as" and when I try to open it in wordpad or notepad it is all gibberish. Right now I am working with image convertor and MWSnap 3. My problem is I cannot scroll to capture the whole page. If I reduce it in size, then I can't read it That computer is not hooked up to a printer, so I am going to burn a page to cd and then print it out on this computer to see if the page is normal.

  19. Thanks for replying. I'm using the viewer and I have graphic convertor from Corel. My problem is I can open the file which is text using the viewer, but when I try to change it using the graphic convertor I can't find the file. Only the folder shows and when you open it there is nothing in it.
  20. I have some medical records from old drive that were copied using PaperPort. In transfering them to new drive, I have to use a PaperPort viewer to read them. Is there a way to change them from Max files to something else so I don't have to use the viewer to read them? Thanks
  21. Chappy, I have noticed that some of my pictures can be viewed by just clicking on them and others won't open at all. I've installed the photo program, but not sure how to get the file in it. I pulled the Gen. file from the C drive and installed it in the Genealogy program and it looks like all the information is still intact. But where I had pictures of the people next to their names are not there. I'm still trying to figure out how this Pc Inspector works. So any advice on it and how to transfer the files would be appreciated. Thanks
  22. Thanks Chappy, PC Inspector show the folders for "My Documents" is there with everything still in it and "My Program Files" folder is still there with everything in it. I do have some lost files. But the ones I want still show. Now how do I transfer them to the master drive? Sorry to be so dumb about this O.K. I have transfered my files to the new 30 gig HDD. So far I have found only two very minor files that need to be replaced. I am running a scan for lost files now. It's late and I am going to bed. Thanks for helping me Chappy.
  23. Thanks Dave, This is my first time doing this. So far, I think I have done good considering that when I installed W98se on the 30 gig, my cable modem went bad and I reinstalled W98se several times before I figured out what was wrong. Then the next day my router gave me problems as I was installing drivers making me think I had done something wrong. Then one stick of memory went bad. But I got the 30 gig up and running and now I am trying to work on the 13 gig. So, as I read what you have said, I need to go ahead and format the 13 gig and then "do not" install the OS. Then, because of very lim
