  1. you might try to delete the old one in safe mode...since the file is probably in use...but..(see below) as for lexmark printers..i bought at least 3 of them before i learned they were not worth their cheap price... i also have learned to accept the Lexbce Server as a "permanent" part of my services...since even though i no longer use lexmark printers...nothing else works without it... wish i could help on the problem with starting the service though...i suspect you will need to muck about in the registry...but i have no clue what might need to be "hacked"
  2. good grief pete...you dressed as a geek..?? LOL i've found myself at an age and "shape" that i avoid full length mirrors...oh boy..
  3. "It makes good Jerry Springer type shock news, but it's not responsible reporting." the difference here joe...as i see it...is springer is a staged, scripted event...produced for a target audience...(of which i am not a member..thank you) cnn's mine coverage was reporting on a real...ongoing event/tragedy...involving real people and gut wrenching drama make your own call on how relevant it was to you...i found it compelling enough to watch...and i believe that cnn presented an accurate view of the events...albiet confused and chaotic..it was how and what happened that night..
  4. the mining officials knew 20 minutes after the first report of 12 alive came FROM the rescue team that they had only one survivor...they also knew that the celebration at the church was happenning....to let that continue even though they did not have all the details...was unconsionable...which they admitted the next day...they could have at least tempered the euphoric celabration with a cautionary message to these folks... there seems to be a feeling amoung some here that the media started the rumor...it did not...and blaming the media for it would be like blaming the cell phones used to sprea
  5. I agree. However, the job of the news network and reporter is to sift out the bs BEFORE they publish it. we apparently did not see the same coverage...i was watching a live broadcast in which a number of people came up to a reporter and told him that they were told by "someone" that 12 were alive...the reporter asked a number of times who made that statement...asked if it was the Gov...or a mine officiall..no one knew... over the next 3 hours or so...the reporter made reference to the fact that they had not received any "official" confirmation...in fact at one point said that he thought it wa
  6. Brian's got it right...this can lead to nothing but trouble...this is the kind of stuff that get's unbalanced kids to plot murdering their classmates and school admin..
  7. well i watched cnn all that night and all i saw was them reporting on what was happening...the "its a miracle...and praise the lord" stuff was from the victims' families and the governor..which became the story being reported... now... i'm no fan of saturation sensationalized coverage of tradgedies...but they are as much a part of life as talk radio has become...which is why i never watch fox...and why i tune cnn out when they cross the line... the real story here i believe is why the mine officials allowed a completly inaccurate rumor to circulate for so long...which they now admit was a mist
  8. ok..those links are good TT... .. i had this problem just last week with my daughters e-machine...turns out the print spooler won't start because one of lexmark services that the print spooler uses as a dependency gets shut off with the uninstall of the printer...it's probaly "Lex Bce server" go to control panel/Admin tools/services find the print spooler and double click it...then click the dependencies tap at the top....make a note of all the dependencies listed and then find each in the services list...if any are stopped or disabled..start them...then go back to the print spooler service an

  11. quote How low are they going to let the boards sink before somebody does something? Allowing profanity (and vulgar profanity at that) on a forum that is not only accessible to kids,but frequented by then,just isn't acceptable.PERIOD. I mean,you can say the "F" word all over the place,but I couldn't post 'www.walmartwatch.com because t.w.a.t. is in the middle of it.
