Update on photo issues: ravencajun: YES! My system restore is clicked ON. zep516: Neat link, thanks. The site owner, Steve Maurer lives 30 miles south of me. We have never met tho. I ran into a issue on page 4 of the directions. It says to right click and choos Paste...that was not a choice. I did make progress by using his information on page 7, using the regsvr32 shimgvw.dll, after doing that, I can now send individual photo's and resizing them, however, I still can't send files of photos and resize them. I must get away from this evil machine for tonight, will keep trying tomorrow. Thanks to all for the great help. Steve

I can't believe you guys - you are ALWAYS right on the $. I just got off the phone with Dell XPS service. The tech guy put in Firefox. Said IE7 doesn't work & I shouldn't use it. He said it causes all sorts of problems and they can't be fixed. However - you can not remove it cause it is integrated with Vista. So you guys are right again! Thanks for all the help. Now I have to learn vista, a new laptop, wi fi AND firefox. Say a prayer for me. (and yourselves cause I'm sure I'll be here again) Thanks, Debbie.

Minor debris does wind up in any site finished job, but your 'twig' is big enough for your refinisher to come back and fix it. Many times all that is needed is a single edge razor blade. It probably can be easily sliced out of the finish. Then, if necessary, new finish can be feathered to blend any visual anomaly that may remain. Done all the time.

One must ignore some of my previous idiotic posts as I was stumbling along trying to figure things out : ) IPs can change as some ISPs dynamically assign them from a pool of numbers rather than having a static one assigned to each pc (that would be a lot of #s). I'm still trying to figure my own out, though. Probably because I'm such an idiot : ) It changes when I ask what it is online, as I would expect. The GW one also consistently puts me in Wichita. ? But, GW seems to have me with a consistent ip across threads and time, even though my real-time inquiries change dynamically. ? Previously, I'd thought the ips were shown below the posts, because I'm not at all out West and that scenario was also giving me an ip for each post. That's why some of them made no sense, hehe. But! even though I'm stupid as !@#$, my sheer determination to make it over that hurdle, and a good dose of good ole common sense, once again, did help me to find where the op's ip turns up! It's more at the bottom of the thread, above a bit of coding gar-bahj. Sorry, but I just don't have the heart to disclose. There may be another, still unknown reason why it is not actually that person, too. (Just like the wrong assumption that the ip is not in there like everyone else's, just because it's in a different spot : ) Although it does seem to be consistent. Wish I knew someone else from that area and isp to see how their #s turn up. Lindy, does your suspect's username match up to the clue I gave above, with acoreana's username? I really think some people are probably being wrongly accused and would be surprised if it did.
