My new thread Re: system restore does not work

17 years ago

Update: System restore still does not work...not even in safe mode. No need to reply to that comment. Just decided to throw it in.

After 3 days of trying to get into the control panel of my webserver, I accidently found that after I disabled PARENTAL CONTROL, I was able to log into my control panel.However that did not fix my inability to update my website. So, against Nortons warnings, I uninstalled the ADD_ON PACK that is an optional part of NORTON 360. This includes Identity Safe, Auto log-ins, etc; I then was able to connect and update my webpage. So many pages had been altered by me trying to publish for so many times, that the whole site was completely republished. This took 16 hours on dial-up. I sat here ready to reconnect evrytime my ISP disconnected me, so I went to bed in the wee hours of the morning. But I got it done.

I posted my findings because I felt the information might help someone else who may be having the same problem. After all that's what this forum is all about. Right?

I was a little disappointed that no one had any suggestions about trying an alternate browser. I guess my plea got lost. Anyway, no problem. I did not need to try that anyway. I have received far more from this forum than I have given back over the years. Maybe this post will help even it out.

thank you for the feedback it is always good to know this kind of info in case someone searching for a clue to a similar problem may find their answer here.

As to the firefox question, I had missed where you asked how to use it in your other thread, it did kinda get lost.

To use firefox which you have on your pc you just go to the firefox icon on your desktop or find it in your start> all programs list and open it, double click the icon, it will open up the web browser and you use it just like you would IE, just type in where you want to go and it will take you there. Now I would guess if someone installed firefox some time ago and you never used it that it will be an old and out of date version so you probably would need to update it, you can do that by clicking on Tools> Options> then go to the update area and you have the option to choose to update firefox, your add-ons etc. I would say go to Help > about firefox and let us know which version it says you currently have and we can help you more once we know that.
The link below is a good guide.

Its always great to have more than one browser, you can have as many on your machine as you want. Makes it easier to find if you are experiencing problems with different sites whether or not it is a browser problem or something else. You can also look into Opera, Google Chrome and there are others as well

Thanks for the informative post mountainman. I knew that some open eye figs needed to be pollinated and other do not. I did not know that pollinating them could cause the pulp to change color. As for the poetry, I have written lots of poetry some better and some worse than the one above. Though I have never written a poem about figs before today. I just wanted express my love for figs and my unknown Keepers. I would not trade them for any other named fig. For now they are but a sweet mystery to be savored again and again. Till the Fall season over takes them and they sleep as though dead till Spring returns them to me once again. Enough now of poetry as this is not a poetry forum.lol

Sitting here in tears, tears of happiness. I truly love you all. I am sending out HUGE but gentle hug's to you all. Thank you for caring for me and always finding a way to brighten my days. I truly don't have a mean bone in my body, and would never intentionally hurt someone. I'm a lover, not a fighter, smiles. Please do not feel sorry for me, as I was fortunate to have the best parents in the world, and now they are home, together, with the Lord. There will be no more suffering or sadness for them. Missing them just reminds me of how great they loved me, how great I love them. My mom has been gone 6 months now, but some days, it seems like I just spent time with her, or talked to her on the phone, or had just [picked greenbeans out of the garden with her. Then there are the days that it seems like I haven't seen here in sooo long. Those are the days I miss her the most. Jan, you had a shoulder for me during my moms illness, and then thru her death. I will be forever grateful my dear friend. MaryEllen (Mellen), you have been my rock my dearest friend. I love you so much more that I could ever show or express. I plan to spend many, many years cherishing our friendship. Carol, my new friend. The gal who will always set things right, and will always extend her arms for a loving hug. The one who can always make you giggle unexpectedly. I have studied how she works, and she is my RR role model :-) You are a very fair and caring person. Thank you for your wonderful friendship. Toni, maybe with our luck colliding, something GOOD is bound to happen, smiles. Your sense of humor is awesome. Even in your dispair, you manage to light up a room. Earthly is always one of the first to offer comfort. And you have, to me, many times. Thank you also for your friendship. Steph, you have shown me patience and understanding many times girl. I can't thank you enough. I can't wait! for some of your Strawberry Rhubarb Jam :-). If I have left anyone out, please forgive me. And please don't take it personally. You all have touched my life in one way or another. Whether it be with comforting words, cards, plants or seeds. Your thoughts and prayers really do make a difference. I sincerely love you all Tina

Quite a read, but the only thing I see that might apply to my situation is that I have free Zone Alarm as my firewall. It never caused a problem in the past, but I'm wondering if the latest update has something to do with this. By the way, another recent thread referring to firewalls had some interesting information indicating that ZA might not be such a good choice any more. I tried Comodo and found it nagged too much, but I'm thinking of trying the one a poster on that thread recommended. Since I have a firewall via a router, maybe I'll shut down ZA and try the System Restore. I still like having a software firewall on each computer, however.

I should mention that I just took AOL off my computer after 8 years. I understand AOL leaves bits of itself all over as well. When I followed your instructions I ran into a snag but tried to continue on. Hopefully Norton is gone.

Thanks DA. Ordinarily I would have done that, but the original thread got jumbled up with sub-headings, which I'm sure was all my fault and it was suggested I open a new thread. I got off on other topics which, in my computer illiterate brain, was all tied in together and I was searching for an answer that would help me get my webpage back online. System Restore would have worked in the beginning if I had been able to do that successfully. This is definitely a Microsoft problem and they need to be working on that, in my humble opinion. Ida
