I scan medical records on my computer using a optical scanner which saves the material as a .doc. I save these documents on my computer and copy sections to be printed. When I open these scanned records, many become corrupted. Not really knowing what to do about it (and too lazy to rescan), I've copied the parts I needed and pasted on a new blank document. Strangely, they always copy and paste correctly. Windows keeps telling me that a 'table' is corrupted, but I just ignore it. If you could get the document open, I would try copying it to a blank document. It works for me. Jane

@fruitjarfla. purposes Great for Internet connection issues! One thing nice about .bat files is windows will run them. In the .bat file between the stars, it's just a set of commands that windows will recognize. You must use Notepad to copy it into to run the file. The first thing it does is checks the Host file, the attributes -h -s -r. Then it checks the local host 127.0.0.1, all computers use that as a local host, that's your home. Then the rest of the commands in the .bat file are straight forward as seen. ********************** ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns netsh winsock reset all netsh int ip reset all shutdown -r -t 1 **************************** First it releases the IP address. Next it renews it, in other other words it forces windows or the modem / router to obtain a new IP#. From you Internet provider. Then it flushes the DNS, Domain name server. In a lot of situations you can connect to the internet, but you can't download a web page, that is sometimes caused by a DNS problem or issue. Then it resets the winsock files those are all internet connection related. Last the very end of the bat file shutdown -r -t 1This command reboots windows or restarts it. It's the best I can explain it. Go ahead an fool with it you can't hurt anything. Do you understand how to save it to notepad? Joe

Thanks for your questions and suggestions mikie. I have Windows 7, generally use chrome (Version 36.0.1985.125 m) although sometimes switch to IE for the occasional site that isn't optimized for Chrome. Did try to create an email using IE and it made no difference. Not sure what you're asking about online hotmail - my addy is @hotmail.com but it's accessed through Outlook. I do use Adblock+ and have tried turning that off with no change. Also have been using Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes anti malware (the free version) for quite a while and I'm ashamed to say I don't know how to temporarily disable either one. I know how to remove the programs but can't find a way to temporarily disable - I'm having a duh moment - what am I missing?

You might want to view the 'sticky' posts regarding Yahoo at Email Questions to see if any will help you resolve this. There is one about Yahoo customer service there (read the entire thread), but the (updated) phone number shown may or may not work for you.
