Garden, get rid of Adobe and use FoxIt:

Anyone using Firefox and posting on RB? I can't get any posts to "take". I've got 1.0.4 and 1.5.0.2 installed, neither works.

bbgold, those 4 startups were the first startups of the last 4 days. It doesn't matter how many times you start the computer each day, it only stores the first one of the day each day.

In any event, the "scanreg /fix" command should have fixed you up.

bbgold, try the "scanreg /restore" command:

If that doesn't work try "scanreg /fix" at the command prompt.

okeah, ya might like to try quicktime alternative:

re: cookies and retailers

"In September 2000, Amazon.com outraged some customers when its own price discrimination was revealed. One buyer reportedly deleted the cookies on his computer that identified him as a regular Amazon customer. The result? He watched the price of a DVD offered to him for sale drop from $26.24 to $22.74."

wc, assuming that you're both running XP this is the way I do it.
1) Make sure all users are using a password.
2) On both machines create another user/password that's the same as the user on the other machine.
3) Share out the file folders you want and the printer. Right click and hit the "sharing and security" option, then check the "share this folder", give it a name and "apply" and "ok" out of there.
4) If you're using firewalls you need to set them to allow the IP's of anything else that you want to share with. I generally just set it to allow the entire range of 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254 or similarly with the 192.168.0.1 config depending on your router's IP scheme.

At this point the shares should be showing up in both machine's My Network Places.

OT: rich pearl, nice to see you, hope you're doing well

Unplug it, see if your computer stays on.

"update file could not be found"

I've got the same problem, I would guess that it's on their end. I'm not going to worry about it.

doniam, the Interstate battery guy that drives around in the green truck can get you one of those.

Newly, have a look for .wav files on your machine.

Use the "*" asterisk as the wild card. So look for "*.wav" without the "s.

I used the free version to get rid of some stubborn baddies on our shop machine at work. If I remember correctly, you should run it in safe mode.

eaglefl, with an IP like that it's one of the other machines on your network.

kodiak, you might give ewido a try:

Stockbuilder, sounds like server problems on their end. Probably nothing you can do but wait it out.

mikeymac, one problem with factory built systems is that the proprietary motherboards frequently only have 3 PCI slots. This can be a problem if you want a sound card, NIC card, and one or more video PCI cards.

Most commonly available non-proprietary motherboards (IE: custom built/home built) have 5 PCI slots. That's going to give you a lot more room to do what you need/want to do.

Live8, you can go to aolmusic.com and get the stream of the concert.

For the rest of the summer, apparently.

Live 8: hey you can get the free stream of the concert at aolmusic.com

a lot of different artists.

renshen1, no it doesn't. Both those programs are well behaved.

re: "Real Alternative."

I'm using it and I'll say it's good. I'll also say that QuickTime Alternative is good.

I've never had a problem with either program.

re: 300 game winners. I just heard that the last time two 300 game winners faced off was 1987.

ottoman, I would try opening "C:\Docs and Settings\ottoman\Local Settings" and empty the "Temp" folder.
