ME broadband and a router

Aha....if my address book is right, the Loon is a Capricorn....Jan. 7th.
Have to put all of these into Yahoo, I guess. Memory went south a long time
ago!! And I never think to look in the address book......

Still haven't got the router on here. And your old age pension must be more
than mine. Can't afford Windows 7, lol. Mind you, Willy won't partition
this machine either, so I will have to get really stern with
him......bearing in mind he is a foot taller than me and looks like a
football player. I verbally slap him around anyway!!

I was looking at your daughter's wedding pictures earlier. Very nice. Must
go back and see the other albums. Yes, still trying to get at my jewellery
stuff and have one almost finished that I love. Pearls, soft aqua beads and
Thai brushed silver with a touch of aqua swarovskis. I will fire off a
picture when it is finished.

I like that one for you from the "Old Versions" site g

Have you got that router set up yet and when are you coming over to the
Windows 7 side gI'm looking forward to getting my copy in October I've
got the partition ready for it.

Would the free program "Network Magic" help Rocky out?? I don't
have the link, but do have it downloaded......someone on here
recommended it.

PA Bear helped me out with removing IE8 cuz I couldn't open
pictures, but I am having bad luck with reinstalling my *.dbx files.
Willy put his company name at the top of that tree instead of my
name and I am wondering if that is why. I think I am going to have
to take it over to him to fix up. I have no Cookie or Temp.
Internet File folders and that bugs me. I can remove them via the
back door but figure after what I paid that it should be the same as
before.....but then I was always rather picky, grin.

Hi Joan, it's the 28th July actually, so - snap! - for being one day out.
And for Heather, the clue to the 'number' is in my email address
(elsewhere). Sorry I missed yours - thought I had a note of it but seemingly
no so.

Windows 7 side gI'm looking forward to getting my copy in October

Just acquired a new laptop (b'day present) with Vista (awful) and PC World
promise a 'free' upgrade (£20 shipping??) of W7 in October. Paperwork
procedure sounds like a potential minefield. Nobody at the store had a clue.
Their web link and help line give no details at all (yet?)

Thanks, Mart......and mine is June 14th. So perhaps we still should keep a
private list. I have you, Joan, Mike, Heirloom and Noel in my OE address
book, so will put those in Yahoo one of these days so I don't forget.
Didn't see any reference to it in your home address, but perhaps that number
is the year of birth, grin. If so, I still have you beat. Maybe the Loon
is the *antique* of the ng.

Nice little gift you got......even if it is that nasty Vista. But 20 pounds
for shipping Windows 7? Nah......I could probably send it over there for
less than one pound. Shipping costs are such a rip-off, eh? I see that on
eBay....and do not deal with people who inflate shipping costs.

Cheers.....Heather

Aah thanks I wasn't far off then g

I pre-ordered Windows 7 from Tesco while the offer was on so I'm getting it
for £44.97 and free shipping g Don't do laptops don't need to move around
so there's no point in having one really. Kelly has one and she loves it
plus we both use Vista so what's so awful about Vista Mart ?

I know it's classed as the baddie, a bit like WinME was when you think about
it, but if you have the hardware to run it I don't see a problem and if that
laptop came installed with it it should be up to the job.

I doubt if my pension is more than yours I only get a small amount as I
didn't work enough to build it up, too busy bringing up kids. g
No had a small prize win so thought I'd get it while the offer was on before
the money got swallowed up paying debts.

Know what you mean about the address book I never think to look in there
either I've usually got the dates down on the calendars that hang on the

... so what's so awful about Vista Mart ?

e.g. - It's the constant "Windows needs your permission to continue" box. An
extra key press. And when you try to turn it off in User Account Control,
it nags and shames you to death till you re-enable it. Oh! - and
permissions .... for everything??
What about the .contacts extension? (John Smith.contact)
Mike gave me a registry fix for that - but I've forgotten it. I'll have give
him a call.

... but if you have the hardware to run it I don't see a problem

I have a Canon LiDE 25 scanner which works perfectly in XP - and is
allegedly Vista compatible (although does need Vista drivers).

Can I get it to work *properly* in Vista? - No way!! Sure, I can get it to
'function' after a fashion. Hell, it doesn't even get recognised properly or
work in Control Panel/Scanners & Cameras. (To be fair, I haven't yet tried
installing the scanner on this new laptop - but I couldn't get it to run
satisfactorily on a previous laptop under Vista. Just hope the W7 upgrade
resolves some of these issues - but not holding my breath g

I suppose some might find the UAC a pain, I don't find it too much of a bind
but that's me. I think it really gets on peoples nerves if they're the sort
that are forever changing or installing and un-installing things, to me it's
another layer of security making sure I did want to change or install that
program and it's not something nasty that's got in.

I know I had no problems with my all-in-one printer when I bought that and
it was an old model, that's the reason I bought it because it was cheap.

I haven't actually tried my other scanner, that's a Cannon, as I have the
function built into my printer but it's OK if John needs to scan anything I
can just plug it into the XP machine.

Hi Joan, it's the 28th July actually, so - snap! - for being one day
out. And for Heather, the clue to the 'number' is in my email address

seemingly no so.

Windows 7 side gI'm looking forward to getting my copy in October

Just acquired a new laptop (b'day present) with Vista (awful) and PC
World promise a 'free' upgrade (£20 shipping??) of W7 in October.
Paperwork procedure sounds like a potential minefield. Nobody at the

Must say that I am surprised at all the trouble you are having with 'Vista',
Mart. As Joan pointed out, it has a 'bad' name but, as for me, it works just
fine as did/does ME, only better. Those 'permissions' don't bother me at
all and neither do the other things people complain about, because they
aren't there for me. The 'only' problem I encounter is the 'slow' opening of
the video play and that may rather be the fault of the machine than the OS.
A lot of the success with Vista has to do with the installation and
configuration of the system. It is a memory hog and must be dealt with
accordingly.
To my understanding Windows 7 isn't going to be much different. For the time
being I stick with what I've got.
Best of luck with it,

Harry.
