illegal_alias... IDK, sorry. Maybe "google" it.
illegal_alias... One other idea, the which you
are likely already aware, USB "wireless " Adapter
(making the computer function w/o cable connection)
thus eliminating any cable issue. You might already
have one handy. I used one upstairs for a while
(cable modem is downstairs). It worked great- \
handy gadget to have around. Personally, I doubt
that you have a "hard-wired" cable problem. GL
illegal_alias..Lightening strike took out my NIC
and cable modem about 4yrs. ago. NIC was on
motherboard also. But I seem to remember that
installed a NIC card in spare slot and it worked.
Am not suggesting that you buy one to try, but if
you happen to have an old spare lying around, as
I did, would be worth a try.
Hi, Flobewan: When are you putting "Computer
Tune-up" for Windows 10 in the "sticky" notes?
[today} , [never] , [why] . [other].
Just joking, because of all W-10 jabs coming from
everywhere. Appreciate your expertize.
Have a great day.
Marilynt.. Tis an f (310-1125f )... Excellent . Not outdated at all.. You have a large disk.
sDRAM of 4 gig is ok (could add 4 more, small cost talk to your son about...CPU, duel core, speed about 3giga Hertz is good...
Problem(s) probably not the machine.: most likely is adjustment (tune-up) related,
for which I will be of little help. But now that you are on record someone else
probably can help you get it back on track...
Newly2b.. Great suggest ; never considered that path. Thanks.
Can you give us the model number?
Marilynt.. No. I do not recommend putting Solid State Drive on 6 year
old computer as a cure for the problems you are having. Can you tell us
about your machine: name, model, RAM (random access memory) capacity,
disk-drive (called "hard drive") capacity, CPU (Computer Processing Unit) speed
and anything else that You consider relevant.
P.S. In my opinion Apple is not the solution for a Windows 10 fix,
but a good windows computer with: test/tune-up apps and a "good"
chat group like this one is. Just ask IH Admin [Dan].
Marlynt... My experience with W 10 has been excellent.
Do not suspect my problem coming from W10. Saw what I've
got now, when was using W 7 and W XP; just cannot remember
the fix. Am wondering if my cable/ internet provider isn't the cause
( like restricting bandwidth at a certain point - although they do not
claim to limit.
That being said, I find W 10 very complex (steep
learning curve for me)- think I will purchase a W 10 tutorial (book)
then maybe can learn to manipulate. Right now, I go into
"internet options" change something, for example, and do not know
what is going to happen. Truth is I cannot even relate, sometimes,
to webpage layout names/functions (tool bar, etc.).
This kind of cloudiness might have worked with XP/W7, but
believe can really mess up W 10.
If I come up with something that might be of help will let all here know. GL.
Any ideas on fixing this: I click on a url and wait far to long
(as little arrow goes round and round0 ; also I click on refresh
and only a percentage of page comes up.
Does NOT happen always. Have cleared History - do have
add blocking activated. Problem is recent, maybe 3 weeks.
Hi, Justified.. "till Flo gets back to you, maybe this will help:
Maybe not familiar w/w-10 yet: In Bottom Left corner, click little
windows icon , then Top Left corner, click little, 3-bar icon > "Control Panel" >
"Programs and Features". If you find , can uninstall. GL
cintrix... Great. You know, I thought of something like that last night (not to
delete it, but to add some symbols) because of what you had written earlier ...
4 symbols ...never used etc. But I was to sleepy to respond lol.
cintrix.. might this situation be caused by old pages not being updated?
IE (for faster viewing, can store old pages) then when you call for that
page IE pulls up the old page and updates it with only what is new. But
you have modification choices-
Go to Control Panel. "internet options" (internet properties box pops up) .
Click "general tab". Click "settings" near bottom and Web Data settings
box pops up. I have alwaays used "automatic " setting and have
NO problems here.
OT.. Reddit.. anybody tested Reddit as a valued
tool for trading information.
If so, would like to know your opinion of its utility.
Thanks.
boonies You are so right; would be so helpful
if each poster started each post with the ticker
symbol.
They were discussing NETE, qtr. report

panthrj...might be worthwhile to check back with vendor if guarantee in play.
golf nut. Appreciate your gesture for all of us. And delighted to hear that Bruce and his wife
Karen are devoted to church.
Value_Investor... okay. Thanks.
Value_Investor Am very curious as to what is meant by
"New Bottom" Thanks for responding; been eying your
work for a while. GLTY.
Newly2b Windows 10 is free NOW, but what about in
a few years (when OS's are evolving drastically- and
it's time for W-11)? I read somewhere that W-10
upgrades will be sold (like not free).
Maybe even subscription type fee for such upgrades.
IH Admin Dan] My understanding is that one cannot
turn-off updates except if OS is "Windows professional".
Hasn't that been one of the most frequent complaints ?
GOVX (.083) Trying to make zika virus vaccine.
KittP... That worked. Thank you & good trading.
Recently updated Firefox and have color problem
that cannot seem to fix: purple text on black background.
(cannot read. How can one fix this? Thanks for any response.
DRWI ! for 25 r/s : effective tomorrow 1-4-2016
One for the Summer may be Hertz car/eqpt rental (HTZ). Why, you may ask.
#1 They had big accounting problems (now straightened out)
#2 Carl Ican owned 14 per cent (like 50+mm shares) as of Dec 2014
#3 HTZ is getting ready to separate car vs. eqpt rental businesses
#4 Election year means, IMO, that a lot of this election moneys will
be used to rent cars and HTZ car rental status is "top of class".
#6 Revenue is about $23+ per share (mgmt should claw out ea. of $2+
on that). Plus there is about 8% of float short..
#7 Can you "see" it at 17 by August (@8+ now) / and option candidate.

walknmanny. imo, are attempts to sell you the update. I ignore them.
Augusta, Trump's car ticker.... try WIND.
DCAC.... A/S = 5billion ???
Using only windows 10 now. (I like)...Will stay w/win10.
And hoping msft will backtrack on forced downloads
and unrequested updates. (2 desktops, one laptop)
Good-by seven...hello eleven.
Maxthon Browser... Been using for at least 3 years too. Like it.
Don't know what they are called, those little rectangles whereupon one
may assign a URL (there are about 15 on a page and 3 pages possible, I believe).
Is there any other browser that has this feature?
Chrome has the rectangles, but I have not been able to assign a URL.
Newly2b..... Windows 10 is the future, starting now. And from what I have observed
from comments this board and elsewhere Windows 10 i s probably the best os
msft has ever produced.
Drawback seems to be that peeps fear msft tracking and forcing downloads.
(imo ... msft will relent and besides, whats the saying?; "Everybody is doing it!")
One more thing ; it is my understanding that Windows 10 professional allows for
user downloading choices.
Might as well go with the flow.
Cheers.
Mudman5002..... Exactly... the "watchwords " are: Be Ready.
But automatic spying can be compromised. Ways could be put in Flobewans
"Windows 10 stickly" for the moment. One way comes to mind immediately:
Just click on so much "junk", "nonsense" as we navigate the web that collection
becomes practically worthless.
Then too, I suspect that independent programmers / teckies will begin inundating
the market-place with free or small fee subscription stuff that will kill off most all MS
automatic spy tracking.
And finally, rogue migration to MS enterprise software will surely follow.
denmo83 ... guessing usb cable is good,.
'IH Admin [Dan]' + Any interested users...... The QT problem ... Just for information
(could apply to other than QT) mishaps... today I re-installed QT, but to another folder
than in previous installs.
That solved the problem.
Seems that old folder is corrupted.
p.s. And have downloaded the new stock tracker: "MT" (for Medved Tracker).
download can be found by goinng to QT board... 'MedVed quote tracker user group'
'Jerry Medved' Update on QT problem...Upon re-installing today, I used a different folder than previously (eliminating that potential problem). And it worked. Now have a good version of QT.
And, thank you, have MT also...great, wow.
Jerry, thanks. Got MT. Imported lists from QT. Ready for Monday.
Still investigating QT mishap.
