hello, the machine is only 3 years old,yes i did destroy all the data on it after i formatted.i still have the larger drive but it won't read it. last night a neighbor gave me a windows 2000 disc and i formatted the drive again and it worked;it saw the full capacity of the drive and is ready to use, however when i try to bring the second drive with 225 + gigs of data on it it will not see it no matter how i switch things around bios won't read it, so i took it out, the drive i have working is set to master and is the only drive in the pc but bios says it is a secondary slave drive but it is on the primary ide channel and set to master!!everything in bios is set to auto detect drives,but as soon as i connect the other drive as a slave drive and reboot, the computer freezes and gets stuck on the post screen and hangs.funny thing is when i take that drive and put it in the hard drive enclosure that converts regular drives to use with usb and plug it into the computer i am on right now and reboot, windows comes up and says : found new hardware,mass storage usb device,your hardware is installed and ready to use,it even gives me a new drive letter,shows the drive as a western digital drive but... when i click on the drive letter it says please insert a disk into drive j....hmmm

It appears that it is gone. I used the Remover instructions you gave me RC on the Google home page and never saw AVG when I clicked on the the AVG toolbar options/advance. Nor did I see it in IE. The only option for search providers was Google listed as default/enabled/not available. I saw it in Firefox and removed it. I have only uploaded that program a few months back but never used it. I removed the Google toolbar on the culprit Google home page that was with the AVG toolbar and the AVG disappeared. Then I brought back Google. I rebooted and it is still gone and not listed as a program.I am holding my breath as it is a backward way of following the directions though I tried carefully to do that. grandms.Your thought about the company called "On call 25/8" has been running through my mind since they came out and created a pw to get into Windows last week. They had my computer a couple of months ago when I couldn't find a graphic device and did a thorough look. There was something wrong about the guys paying forward pitch that bothered me. For $750 I could get so many hours of future help in my home. He also would take care of installing my new router and Apple apps. There are other On Call 25/8 companies and wonder if anyone has heard of them. Raven thanks again for standing by as I made my way through these instructions. I hope this is the end. This afternoon I read all the online complaints about AVG - some going back 3 years. I have an external back up device that may have AVG on it now.Maybe I should throw it away My feeling is that computers are not here to stay. Also, glad to see that the Facebook IPO fell on its face at least at first offering. So many demons. Thanks everyone and have a good dinner and weekend.

suburbanmd, The timing that is displayed on a custom cycle is more a general guideline as indicated from the owners manual p.24 states: 8. Start the program Press the flashing "Start" button. If a delay start is set, the remaining times elapses in the display. Once the delayed start time has elapsed or immediately after the program starts, the approximate program running time is displayed. The washer calculates the water absorbency of the laundry in the first 8 minutes. The overall program time may be shortened or lengthened. Additionally the sequence cycle is displayed. The washer shows the current program step. The drum door will be locked and the drum light will turn off once the program starts. Unless Miele is documenting and including in their unit database your machine's serial number includes the new firmware then the only means of determining whether your machine has the latest firmware is through the physical attachment of a laptop with Miele's proprietary software communicating between the two. After a Miele tech has actually connected to your machine then corporate's database is updated with information via Wi-Fi in real time. My machine's firmware had the "Hygiene Info" switched to the "on" position to display the machine should be run on a Sanitize cycle if too many cold water washes have been executed. Our machine's door latch that was originally perfectly spaced and starting to hit the latch roller was adjusted. I have another thesis on the sagging door matters of both the dryer and washer might, given the time, post a thread regarding my findings. bmac, I agree with you that although minor, issues that should be resolved, yet remain issues are unacceptable. Dealing with Miele US Corporate is fruitless other than getting them to actually schedule a tech to service your units. Unless the person you are speaking with has field experience, or they are in front of your machines, then they are useless. Now a great tech...that's a different story; we have been fortunate.

I ran into this problem a few years back. Trying to remember what I did. I think I went to the Computer Forum and they told me. I remember I had to erase all cookies. Run a scan by using CCleaner and tell it to remove cookies. Then type in the address bar gardenweb.com. Log in using your old name/password. I think that's what they told me to do on Computer Forum. I remember having to erase all cookies to Houzz and log in to Gardenweb.com. Don't log into Houzz. Jane
