Gman, Since you have ruled out a mainline cause of the problem. One of three things could be wrong. 1. I hope this is it becuase this is the cheapest. Make sure your solenoid is securely in place. Not over tightened but snug and not loose. 2. A broken lateral zone pipe that doesn't show up on the surface when the zone water is running. Remove a nozzle from a head and see if the water coming out is discolored. this could also clog other heads. Look at the filters inside the head to see if contamination is occurring. Opening the head to 360 degrees won't show the problem; it only puts more demand on an already overtaxed line. 3. Most likely, the valve is faulty. Unscrew the the top off and see if there is something jamming the blade from opening all the way up. If there is nothing obvious just replace the valve and see if that works. This is more time consuming than expensive. If you want you could put in a larger size valve than what is there to increase your system efficiency while you are at it. Aloha

Rhodyman - I'm no computer expert, and I know there are other combinations that work for forum users, but unlike many who have made changes, I use IE7. Windows Defender free program for spyware. Symantec for virus protection. In Fall 2003, I bought Stop the Pop Up by Sureshot, a one time only fee of $20. The tech at my ISP said they had trialed 30, and this one worked flawlessly ( they don't sell it, so nothing to gain by the recommendation) I see no ads, banners, not ever a single solitary pop up on any site I visit including this one. No sounds. I understand your complaint about the advertising, you'd think they'd realize it would make potential customers not want to buy the product rather than make them consider it Here is a link that might be useful: Stop the Pop Up

I think it depends upon your platform (Mac? Windows?) and which software you're using to browse. Can you give us more info? Here: Windows Vista using Firefox. Tools > Options > Content tab. Make sure the Block pop-ups box is checked. Most modern browsers have some equivalent. Look for Options or Preferences under the Tools menu (sometimes Edit menu). Browsers have gotten wise; It's a lot easier than it used to be. Ana

Please tell him not to use any passwords with it this way and definitely not to do any type of banking or financial transactions. the fact it is not allowing him to install security programs is HELLO A HUGE RED FLAG telling him all is NOT well.

So he should at the very least back up what ever he treasures that is on that pc.
