Learn to read headers. New handle, new machine, old poster, same old
munged email addy. Nothing to do with anybody you're thinking about.
So why do you find it necessary to hide your identity and constantly
change handles?
How many handles have you used over the years?

Unlike you I have used just one over the past couple of years since
dumping Dennis Compton.

How many handles have you used over the past month?





He's used about seven or eight since I turned on my bozo bin last week.
I'm guessing he thinks I am "filtering" him on his faked user name or
faked email address. That's just one way he's being filtered, but not
the only way. That's why as soon as he "changes" it, the filter catches
the change and dumps him down in the septic tank, along with the other
effluent. Reggie is *gone* unless he is requoted and I happen to read
that post.

:}



If you have me filtered perfectly, who gives a crap? You really do seem
to really love your "bozo bin".

Me too, but I rarely use it. I use Firefox. I like it.

You know what I hate most about Firefox and IE7?

Tabbed browsing.

Tabbed browsing is what turned me on to FF in the first place at a time
when
IE hadn't gotten around to it.

Just curious, what don't you like about the tab feature?

I don't know - seems like over kill. You can always open another
window if you need more than one - hell, two or three if necessary.

I had somebody tell me one time that the advantage of tabs was that
she could open as many as 14 tabs at once and flip back and forth.

My answer was that she needed serious psychiatric help. :)

From an ergonomic standpoint, it's no better than opening up another
window, so what's the point?

Personally I feel tabs are less clutter than multiple windows. But you know
the saying, opinions are like belly buttons, everybody has one.

I guess that's why they make Fords, Chevys, Toyotas, etc. :-)

Reggie said he uses FireFox but complains about IE7. He earlier said his
OS

Is there a pattern here?
I dunno' he has mostly pasted other folks experience, fair enough. I
have noticed over the year when folks have insufficient backups to

JimH,
That is so easy to figure out, and I thought you said you knew computers.
Check the IP and you will see who they are.

You are the master of handle changes. I care not to see how many dozens of
handles you have morphed into over the past weeks or months.

What I do know is that you have claimed to own a platoon party boat and a
bubble boat. Which one is your imaginary boat 'du jour'?


Nope, never claimed any such thing, the last time you told this lie, you
said I claimed to own a houseboat. While I did spend the weekend in a
houseboat, I never said it was mine.

This sounds like the time you whined about Chuck publishing personal
info about you in the NG. this went on for 15 or so posts, then someone
posted a link to the original link, showing that you lied. Everyone
knows you game.

When Harry said you lived in a tacky little house, was he off the mark?

It is the same thing as using your bottom toolbar, but I would think it

I never said anything about your house, Harry did. What did I say about
your wife and kids? If you give me a photo of your cats, i will try my
best to say something about them.


JimH,
Now I remember what I said about your wife and kids, I mentioned that
you used to whine continually about how Harry was stalking and
threatening you and your wife. I can't remember if you said Harry was
threatening your kids also, but then again, you whined about this so
much, I didn't read most of the hundreds (maybe thousands of post where
you made this comment). I do have to tell you, I do remember Harry
saying he thought you house was tacky, but I never read any comments
that I thought were threatening. I just thought it was you doing your
normal meltdown and whining (always ending your posts by telling Harry
he "needs to get help").

As far as your boy, again, I didn't make any comments about your boy,
you did. When you first came here as Dennis, you had a complete mental
breakdown, and went on a weekend long rampage in the group insulting
everyone in the group. Instead of saying your normal "I'm sorry", after
one of these mental meltdowns, you blamed it on your son, saying he
spent the weekend pretending to be you. I, nor anyone else, believed
it, which is the reason why you changed your name. So while I did quote
you on your comment about your son, I really was sticking up for him. I
don't believe it was your son, who totally and completely freaked out in
rec.boats.

As far as your boat, I have no idea what your boat is like, I only know
you like to whine about it when you screw up. If you keep this up, your
son will have to pick up his boat from the bottom of Lake Erie.

Now onto your comment about your computer. I told you that your Dell
with Vista was a memory hog, loaded with Spyware, Demoware and bloatware
that will run so slow you will not believe this is a new computer. What
part of this was wrong? You just got finished telling us that after 6
weeks you are still trying to tweak it to get rid of all of the crap and
you are not happy with the speed. I also told you that Dell was
notorious for using parts that would create a bottleneck in the system,
so your CPU could never run to it's full potential. I have no idea if
this is the case with your laptop, but it is a common problem with Dell.
If you had followed my recommendation, you would have returned the
Dell and purchased a computer without those problems. You would not
have to spend 6 weeks tweaking a new computer.

I bet your cats are cute though. Have you ever had problems with them
spraying? I have heard in rec.boats that cat urine will eat the paint
right off a toolbox. The only problem I have with cats, especially
indoor cats, is in too many homes you walk in and all you can smell is
cat urine. When I had cats, I never used a cat box, and would allow my
cats to spend the day outside, so I was lucky, and they never got used
to using the house as their bathroom.

I really don't know anything about your other kids, because all I have
heard is about your "marine" when you were whining because not enough
people were congratulating you about his graduation from boot camp. If
any of your kids read rec.boats, I would think they would feel you don't
love them, since you never whine about them.

I do have to say, you are very good at whining.

Did I answer all of your questions? If not, let me know.

Nah, but I do love to play with a belly button and give my wife a nice
sexy foot and toE massage. Don't get me started or I will have to go in
and wake her up with some sensual foreplay. I have some great foreplay
you may want to try. Walk slowly and quietly into the room. With a
swift firm action, slap her upside the head and yell "HEY MARIA, YOU AWAKE?"

Nope, never claimed any such thing..............


Makes sense as I doubt you own a boat.
Regarding the houseboat thing............ROTFLMAO..........folks here
know I never claimed to own any such thing.
I have posted pictures of my boats at Lee's site.
I have yet to see any pictures of your boats there Reggie (or whatever
your name is).


I have to admit, I never followed up on the link Harry posted showing what
he called a really tacky house. Do you still have that link?

If one can show I own a 'really tacky house' based on a satellite footprint
image of it........then so be it.

It is, however, one of the nicer 'tacky houses' in this 15 year old
development and most likely out of your price range.

As you have run the gambit of attacking me, my wife, my kids, my kid's
computers, my boats and my house...........what is next, my cats?

Get help Reggie.




Cats? How many? We've got too many.

Harry, did you post a picture of Jimh's house? I remember a picture Jimh
posted of what he described as his house. Not a good picture, as you
commented. And, of course, you made several comments about his house which
were not very nice.

Shame.

Is Internet Explorer 7 matching Windows Vista in the level of
disappointment delivered to end users? Well, such an answer lies
ultimately within you. But at the same time, IE7 has not been submitted
to the same barrage of fire that Vista had to face throughout 2007.
Still, users are failing to take a shine to the latest version of
Microsoft's proprietary browser, and this scenario is a clear indication
that Microsoft is not quite there with IE7. Nowhere is this more evident
than in the evolution of IE7 in terms of market share. The Redmond
company made available Internet Explorer 7 on October 18th, 2006, for
Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003. The browser also ships as a
default component of the Windows Vista operating system.

In November 2007, Microsoft drew the line on IE7's first year on the
market counting in excess of 300 million installations worldwide. Now,
300 million IE7 users are, by no means, a figure that can be dismissed
easily, but it can be interpreted as a failure from the browser. This
because, although it is designed to succeed Internet Explorer 6, one
year after RTM, IE7 is not exactly succeeding IE6... launched
concomitantly with XP SP2, IE6 has deep roots and is still the dominant
browser worldwide.

According to statistics made available by Net Applications, at the end
of November 2007, IE6 still accounted for a share of 40.24% of the
browser market. IE7 is the runner up with 36.84%, followed by Firefox
2.0 with 14.97%. Between October, 2006 and February, 2007, IE7 presented
a consistent growth grabbing a market share of approximately 30%. And
then in the rest nine (!!!) months, IE7 adoption hit a dead wall, and
only grew 7% from 30.07% in March to 36.84% in November. The extended
and repeated Windows genuine Validations associated with the download
process, the evolution of the graphical user interface in comparison
with IE6, and issues such as memory leaks and the lack of standards
support are keeping Internet Explorer users on IE6 rather than
converting them to IE7.

This situation has reduced Microsoft as scrapping the mandatory WGA
mechanism from the downloading of IE7, opening up the browser to all
Windows pirates, and even attempting to bribe users into deploying the
browser via the "Shop With More Confidence Sweepstakes". And even more
relevant for Microsoft is the fact that even with IE7 on the market, it
has continued to lose its grip over the browser market dropping from
over 80% in 2006 to 77.35%, while Firefox grew to an estimated 16.01%.

Reggie, as you know, Harry and JimH know more than all of the IT
engineers, Microsoft programmers, technicians, and most other people.
Even Microsoft admits that, and offers solutions to, Vista's memory
problems. But Harry and JimH say it's a wonderful program!

I didn't even know what browser version I had - I've got IE 7.

Works for me.
I have IE7, but it keeps freezing up and then shutting down. I think it
has to do with security settings and my anti-virus, there are also some
web sites that just will not open in IE7 or won't allow me to log on, yet
when I use go to Firefox it opens right up.

I think you need to take some Computer 101 classes Reggie.

Being the helpful people they are, MS offers the following advice if IE7
hangs up or freezes.

Installation Notes
Japanese Installation Prerequisite

You must install the Rights Management Add-on from the RMA Download
Pagebefore you install Internet Explorer 7. The add-on cannot be
installed after Internet Explorer 7.

Installation Errors

If you receive notification that the installation failed, you should
restart your computer to ensure that any changes made during Setup are
undone.

To find information about installation problems, refer to the following
log files:
%windir%\ie7_main.log
%windir%\ie7.log
%windir%\ie7Uninst.log

Note: %windir% is the location of your Windows directory, which can
usually be found at C:\Windows.

If you receive the error "Setup was unable to open the log file for
writing: C:\WINDOWS\ie7_main.log", log in with a user account that has
administrator privileges and then try to install Internet Explorer 7 again.

Updating or Reinstalling Internet Explorer 7

If a previous version of Internet Explorer 7 is already installed,
installing the latest version of Internet Explorer 7 will automatically
remove the previous version. After the previous version is removed,
Setup will automatically restart your computer and then begin installing
the new version.

Uninstalling Internet Explorer 7 RC1

To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 and restore Internet Explorer 6 when
using Windows XP or Windows Server 2003

Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Add or Remove Programs.
Scroll down to Windows Internet Explorer 7, click it, and then click
Change/Remove.
If you cannot find Internet Explorer 7 in Add or Remove Programs, click
Start, click Run, type %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe, and then
press ENTER.

Note: %windir% is the location of your Windows directory, which can
usually be found at C:\Windows. To do this, you need to have "view
hidden folders" enabled.

Uninstalling Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3, Beta 2, Beta 2 Preview, or Beta 1

To uninstall Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3, Beta 2, Beta 2 Preview, or Beta
1 and restore Internet Explorer 6 when using Windows XP or Windows
Server 2003:

Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Add or Remove Programs.
Scroll down to "Internet Explorer 7 Beta 3", "Internet Explorer 7 Beta
2", or "Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview", click it, and then click
Change/Remove.
If you cannot find any version of Internet Explorer 7 in the previous
step, select the Show Updates check box at the top of the Add or Remove
Programs dialog box, scroll down to Windows XP - Software Updates,
select "Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview" or "Internet Explorer 7 Beta
1", and then click Change/Remove.
If you cannot find an Internet Explorer 7 entry using Add or Remove
Programs, try running these commands. Each is for a different release of
Internet Explorer 7, so only one will succeed. To run any of these
commands, you need to have the View hidden folders option enabled. In
the commands below, %windir% is the location of your Windows directory,
which can usually be found at C:\Windows. To run these commands, click
Start, click Run, and then type one of the following:

%windir%\ie7beta3\spuninst\spuninst.exe.
%windir%\$NtUninstallie7beta1$\spuninst\spuninst.e xe.
%windir%\$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\spuninst\spuninst.e xe.
%windir%\$NtUninstallie7b2pmx$\spuninst\spuninst.e xe.
%windir%\$NtUninstallie7beta2$\spuninst\spuninst.e xe.
If the uninstall process causes the computer to stop responding while
removing Internet Explorer 7, restart the computer, delete any custom
sound schemes created after installing the Internet Explorer 7 Beta, and
then try to uninstall Internet Explorer 7 again.

Internet Explorer 7 Fails to Uninstall from Specified User Account

If you see an error message saying that you cannot uninstall Internet
Explorer 7 from this user account, you can bypass the check by following
these steps:

Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.
Right-click the Internet Explorer key, click New, and then click DWORD
value.
Type InstalledByUser as the name, and then press ENTER to finish
creating the new registry value.
Try to uninstall Internet Explorer 7 again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Late-Breaking Notes and Issues
The following open issues in Internet Explorer 7 might be fixed in
updates of Internet Explorer 7. The information applies to all Microsoft
platforms, unless specified that the content is unique to Windows Vista
or Windows XP SP2.

Application Compatibility Toolkit Beta 5.0 Available--The Application
Compatibility Toolkit Version 5.0 Beta program is available for download
through the Microsoft Connect Program. This toolkit, which runs on
Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and Windows Vista, replaces the
Temporary Application Compatibility Toolkit which supported previous
Beta versions of Internet Explorer 7. The Temporary Application Toolkit
is no longer available.

Citrix(c)--The CITRIX ICA Client ActiveX Control does not work when run in
Internet Explorer 7 Protected Mode on Microsoft Windows Vista. The user
will not be able to see the remote desktop in a webpage that is hosting
the control. To work around the issue, the user can right-click the
Internet Explorer icon and select Run as administrator. This allows the
ActiveX control to run.

Hal Screen Reader and Supernova Reader Magnifier by Dolphin--These
screen readers stop responding when users click commands from Internet
Explorer's file menu. These two programs are shipped with an older
version of psapi.dll that causes the program to stop responding in
Internet Explorer 7.

To work around this issue, follow these steps:

Go to the installation location for Dolphin Hal Screen Reader or
Supernova Reader Magnifier.
Find PSAPI.DLL in the installation location for Dolphin Hal Screen
Reader or Supernova Reader Magnifier and rename it to something else,
such as PSAPIOLD.DLL. Do not rename the PSAPI.DLL file in your
\\Windows\System32 directory.
Restart the computer.
The program will find the new PSAPI.DLL in the \Windows\System32
directory and function normally. Users might wish to contact the
software vendor website to check for the latest updates.

Upgrading Internet Explorer 7 from a previous build (not uninstalling
Internet Explorer 7 first) can leave the computer in a confusing state
for users who require Assistive Technology programs--Assistive
technology software that runs on Windows, such as screen reading
software, might not be able to read the screens that appear while
installation is being completed (after your computer restarts) because
those screens are displayed before the assistive technology starts. When
the installation is complete, your computer will restart again.

Starting Internet Explorer without incompatible browser extensions or
malware--If you have incompatible browser extension or add-ons
installed, or have symptoms of spyware or ...

Is there a pattern here?

I dunno' he has mostly pasted other folks experience, fair enough. I
have noticed over the year when folks have insufficient backups to
revert back from a bad package or installation, they tend to get real
testy and look for someone to go off on (blame)... ;)
