Is it ethical, & or possible, to send select MSN, MVP
help responses directly to a reference file on my computer? I've just recently found the MSN site. Some probs have pretty much disabled my unit for 2 months; eg. 12-15 mins. to click cycle to next screen. Hence, it is critical I continue my quest for sol'ns using the fewest possible command strokes. MSN entries in OE & Internet have been Godsends. I've been able to absorb info and make notes from many (thank you so much MVP contributers). But some of the most promising are quite long and detail-intensive; eg., Sandi's June 5 opus @ "Stubborn--Favorites". This is all new to me and v.much appreciated. rooster |

No problem saving them for your own use. No problem passing them on to
friends, co-workers, etc. If you want to repost any of them in public forums, in part or in whole, attribution is customary, and if you use the material in any other manner, first ask the person. Have you seen *my* opus on "Clean Boot"? http://www.google.com/groups?selm=%2...GP11.phx.gb l -- Gary S. Terhune MS MVP for Win9x "rooster" wrote in message ...

Thanks Gary, Having to economize as I must on paging means I have to consider each task carefully. Exploring brances along the way is a luxury that has to wait until I unclog my system's pipes.

With the thread highlighted on Sandy's bit, I clicked |Find| in MIExplr., |Save|, watched the left-hand folder waft paperwork to the fight-hand folder, amd was alerted that the page could not be saved.

First, might I suggest that you use Outlook Express to access these
newsgroups instead of MSN. Assuming you have OE installed, click on the following link: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...gen_discussion Once you have subscribed to this group, the entire MSNews server will be at your fingertips. It's faster, saner, and easier to deal with than by using any web-based interface like that you are currently enduring. As for copying info from web pages that won't save, (it's not uncommon), use your mouse to highlight the text you wish to save and press Ctrl-C to Copy the text. Then go to your desktop, right-click on any empty spot, choose New=Text Document (opens a new Notepad document), name it, open it, then use Ctrl-V to Paste in the text. Save and catalog. -- Gary S.

Gary, Nifty; I'll give it a go. I did try the OE., Newsgroup approach just last Wednesday; seemed the sensible thing to do. But my unit "hung" on registration page a couple of times and I had to give up and try this "back door" (no offence) approach. At least I have access. I also tried Forum.Spyware (`a la Spybot S&D which I use), Reg'n page hung. And Usenet; I couldn't activate an account there either, despite vigourous help from my IP dude. Further, I couldn't effect the down'ld from Hijack This to log prob's; or, specifically, the req'd unzip file got deleted/ corrupted/ disabled (????) when I installed W98 Security update, Feb 2004 edit'n . As you can gather by now, I am in a Quantum Gravity Loop of Catch 22's. rooster ps: get some sleep |

If I was going to save anything from here I
would l-click and highlight it then r-click select copy. Now go start, programs, acessories, notepad, and when it is open r-click and past. Now before closing notepad go to topleft corner file, save as the rest is up to you. I have a file named Win Help where I keep things to copy and past here to help when I can. Here are the tools I use and trust they might help clean thing up for you. Get AIDA http://www.aida32.hu/aida32.php Get Laversoft http://lavasoft.element5.com/purchase/ Get EasyCleaner http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/ecleane.htm Get TClock http://www.rcis.co.za/dale/ Get startup http://mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- -----Original Message----- Is it ethical, & or possible, to send select MSN, MVP help responses directly to a reference file on my computer?

You may simply have tried to be too helpful. Logon to MS News is anonymous.
All you put in as a "Handle" and an email address--a *bogus*, impossible, email address. Don't want to use your real email address and you don't want to use one that might conceivably be someone else's email address. For OE Help, see http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com -- Gary S.
