  4. Semi-related: I needed a new garage door and hardware and wanted a local company. I look it up in the yellow pages and there's one with a local number and lists my town's name (I'm in a small town, there are, or were, only two numbers in use at the time -- that is, the first three digits). Nope, they lied. They were from out-of-town. I've seen this several times since. Seems the phone company will sell anything to anybody for any reason. I get these calls all the time. I hate them, because 99% of the time, they tell you that "This is the last chance to <Insert whatever they are se
  5. Thanks Pete - Will add this to the arsenal I was able to find the following fix, but I don't know if it would work - or at least it doesn't seem to: Block WS4 - Using a Registry Fix I did as instructed and I believe that it shows WS4 as NOT needed but still is available - did I do it right?? Brian
  6. Pete: How do you disable this?? Looks like most of what I have says that you can't uninstall it and it takes a while to do this Brian

  10. Hey TT: This is really bad - I also cannot believe that they would have had you even WAIT in an envornment like that!! At my local hospital, they ask visitors to don surgical masks if they have colds and would be sneezing or coughing. This is to protect patients and staff from getting sick!! Better Yet, if they could be sick themselbes, they are asked to stay HOME!! What bothers me is that you have had your transplants, and they KNOW what the devil is going on, so why someone would NOT tell you of problems like this is unimagineable. The hospital is supposed to KNOW their patient, and esp

  12. Hello Everyone: I recently went to my friends house, and he runs Windows Vista Basic on his laptop. When he does Windows Updates, there is an update available for Windows Search 4.0 for Windows Vista When he attempts to install this update There is no green progress bar, and then it will say: "Some updates were not installed (Failed: 1 Update) Errors Found: Code 80073712 (Get Help) Most recent check for updates 6:50 Am 9/17/08 It seems that this update will not install and I have tried it 2-3 times. Is this Update an update that is really required, and if it is, I would like to install it, in
  13. Agreed: He Might have - I dont know.... The thing that was strange was that my brother DID come to me and say that he made the mistake and said he called 911 instead of 917 - The dispatcher was very understanding and dealt with it well. I was just shocked that with my POLICE SCANNER ON I did not hear the officer being dispatched because I was talking to people in my livingroom - Had I heard the original dispatch, I would have called Barre City Police and told them immediately of the situation, but they had called me at about the same time as the officer arrived. Yes, its a GREAT thing that th
  14. Hello Honda Boy: I Personally have NOT seen any drastic slowdowns because of AVG8, however, it was a tad hard to install to a clients laptop when she first got her machine, because Vista did not recognize AVG8 as an allowed program, which made using it a little strange, because you have to get Defender to play nice with AVG8. UAC was asking for 'permission' all the time to run AVG8, and I could not find a way to add it to the allowed list. Yes, its too bad that good programs like this get bought up and changed for the worse. I used to use AVG AS all the time when I wanted an on-demand scanne
  15. Yesterday I had my brother over to my house for a while. He asked to use the phone to call his buddy to set up some plans for later that night. He wanted to dial a number with the prefix '917.......' Unfortunately, he mistakenly dialed '911' when his fingers slipped. This started a chain of events that resulted in my local police department calling me back and asking if I had called 911. I told the dispatcher that I had my brother using the phone to call someone with a 917 prefix, and he made a mstake and dialed 911. The dispatcher was awesome and he told me that an officer was responding
  16. I question the need for heightened security. I mean, you PAY fior the privelige of seeing a movie, and if you are willing to PAY for it, why would it be necessary to have someone there running security checks to make sure you do not record the movie? Movies recorded with cameras rarely come out well, and for the price you pay to get in, which seems to INCREASE as much as $5.00 for a night show every year or so, it is NOT worth videotaping the movie on a camera, when you can go to the local store and BUY a DVD copy for $15-25 a few months after the movie comes out. This isn't like a federal b
  17. When I had an issue with my Mom's Broadband Connection with VZ, I had to go through the motions and got to a level 2 tech after my first callback. They TOLD me to tell the Level 1 person to trasfer me to Level 2 techs, and further, told me that to speed my calls through I should ask for Level 3 techs right off, because what I was telling the Level 1 person was beyond them - I would rather deal with Level 3's because I can actually explain what **I** think the problem is, because I have a better understanding of what is going on in front of me. Once, I told them that they were having problems
  18. JDoors: I don't use "free" <insert service here> anything like this online because they make you have to sign up for other services that entitle you to a free service at the end. If they really wanted to provide a "free" service, they would not make you sign up for god knows what for years and years just to get something that you need. This sounds like a scam, or better yet, sounds like someone is saying that they don't believe you, or just plain don't want to deal with you. This reminds me of the "free Xbox360" threads I have seen on other forums. Of course, we know that you just don
