Morning, Tiff..I know what you mean. Dh goes to work, comes home. I serve him dinner, he takes the dog for a walk then sits in front of 'his' tv w/head phones until bedtime. Plus my family and I had an argument, so I no longer call them, or accept their calls. And winter is just, plain depressing. Going on a week w/o sunlight. It seems the most exiting thing I do is go to the grocery store and doctors..and the docs isn't very entertaining..I despise going. I ended up taking most of my TC's and potting them in a hanging basket..several stems broke, so doubt they'll produce more flowers this year. See what boredom does??? End up doing stupid things like repotting budded TC's!!! Tiff, can you, your dh and dk's move w/your mom? Please understand I'm not trying to nosy myself in your business, just a suggestion. You do need others to talk to. Adult conversation, or at least people who enjoy plants, kids and any other hobbies you're into. There are many here who like talking to you, so if you ever feel blue, sign into GW.. :) Marjie..I didn't know you had twins..Oh you poor thing.. :) Twin babies? Oh Lord, when do you find time to think? God bless you, girl. How old are they? Ha, your Sadie sounds like our dearly departed, Mastiff, Sam..Forget tennis balls..they lasted two seconds..when dh took Sam to the woods, Sam saw a cute dog playing w/his tennis ball. Sam ran over, stole his ball and chewed it to smithereens. The owner laughed, but his poor dog lost so many tennis balls because of Sam. I bought a bag of tennis balls for the man, or rather his dog to replace those destroyed by Sam..lol. I love Labs..How much does Sadie weigh? Is she high-strung? I worked as an asst vet. When it was time to spay Black Labs, 'not so much neutering males,' the females needed extra sedation. Their breed was so much fun to work with..lol. j/k. Labs are extremely intelligent, loyal AND beautiful.. After surgery, Labs couldn't wait to see mom, dad, brother or sister, ready to take them home. lol. Yep, rubber rings last longest. Even w/love to chewy-teeth dogs, and mid-extra large breeds. Sam had a rubber, U-shaped band called Pull & Tug..One toy he couldn't chew to pieces. lol. Marjie, if you're serious about running away, I'll go along. As long as we can bring our pets, children and plants! We'd have to buy a couple buses though. More like five. lol. Hey JoJo..wow, a chicken named Hawk hanging around you..You should go to YouTube, seach for chicken sounds..Wonder what Hawk would do?? lol. How nice. What a lucky chicken!! AWWW, why are the other chickens pecking on her? Are they plucking her feathers? Funny she hangs with the dogs..maybe she thinks she's a canine...lol Poor kitty..wonder what's going through his mind??!! I can imagine..no wonder he seeks a higher level. lol. JoJo, only the best for our feathered/furred family, right? Bet your zoo pets are as spoiled as ours..lol. Don't blame you for investing in a jeep..Can you imagine trying to haul all that food in a Fiero? lol. I don't know much about quail. How do they behave and what do they eat? Are they in or outdoors? I remember you said you got a new turtle..how's he/she working out? I forgot, is he/she a water or land turtle? 3 dogs..wow! lol. Does your gecko have an English accent like the commercial? lol. The gecko commercial is one of a few I don't mind watching...makes me laugh. JoJo, I know you addressed to Marjie, but I too bred Betas. Wasn't it amusing watching the male spitting a nest for babies? But, poor moms. JoJo,, what type of plants are you looking for? Wow, you wake before the roosters..lol..Toni

Thanks Joe, That's how I do it or did it. I got the Win 7 Public Beta release now with a product key that is good till August 1st, so I'm going to put Win 7 on a secondary HD, since my main HD is a 74GB WD Raptor, which doesn't give me much wiggle room for 2 OS's and long term future use, the good thing is that's it's 10,000 rpm, but for tons of software, that's small. Never tried a triple boot, interesting. grandms, the 128MB on-board graphics will be fine. I did Vista with a 32MB card and really didn't miss out on much, in fact they were selling Vista ready computers with only 32MB. If you're into 3D and gaming graphics performance like the kids, then you'll a need big buck video card, but for desktop performance for Windows Aero, you're good to go. I'm liking Win 7, sure there are preliminary bugs and crashes at times doing some things with different software and reports are sent to MS, but that's why it's beta and testing and why they released the public beta to the first 2.5 million people, to get feedback. There was a big demand and release was delayed 6-8 hours while more servers were set up to handle the traffic so you'd have a good download experience with a little speed.

Hello again nice people, I have a question. Since Zep has led me through so many steps and has helped me clean up some of the junk on my computer my question is this. What will the results be if I can find no way to get Java downloaded? Is it absolutely necessary that Java be on the computer for things to work right. I see no results from NOT having it, other than not being to play some games, I play most any game I want without any trouble, most of them very graphic. I still need to delete the Firefox Beta version and keep the right version, but I've got to straightened out the shortcut Icons on my desktop, they're both intertwined. Other than that I don't seem to be having any problems. I don't know if there is something else on the Hijack list that needs to be addressed, Zep didn't say so I assume that there is not. I did get the problem with Incredimail straightened out. That also was a register error. After today I am headed for hopefully a wonderful trip to Yellowstone National Park. I will check on this thread as soon as I get back to see what you think about leaving well enough alone. Thanks again for your time and sharing your knowledge.

it seems to be related to having OE6 and IE7 and with xp sp2. this is a work around. Right-click the embedded image as you normally would, but instead of choosing Save as..., choose Copy. Then open MS Paint, go to the Edit menu and select Paste. That should paste the image into Paint, and then you can save it. (You could probably use any photo program) Best fix quit using IE and move to firefox problem solved. I found this on another forum from someone who had contacted MS about the problem Quote: I went to a different Microsoft site and, using the Contact Us feature, wrote and reported the problem. I assured them it was a Windows issue, that the problem occurred sometime after I'd done an update, and that I wasn't going to pay for them to correct a problem they created. Eventually I received an e-mail from them that said there's sometimes an incompatibility problem between IE7 and some computers and/or third-party programs. To correct I'd have to remove IE7. Here's the procedure, in case it'll be helpful to some of you:-- 1. Click Start, click Run, type "APPWIZ.CPL"(without quotation marks) and press Enter 2. Check Show updates on the top. 3. In Add/Remove Programs list, select Windows Internet Explorer 7 and remove it 4. Restart the computer. After that, please verify if the issue is resolved. The moment the computer rebooted, I discovered the problem was solved and I could save embedded images I'd been unable to while IE7 was in the system. end quote. Try deleting IE's cache from Tools, Internet Options, click the Delete Files button under Temporary Internet Files. Go back to the site where you were saving the 'pics' from and try right clicking them and choose 'Save Image As' These were pictures on websites? not in email? this problem is normally in email pictures and it is a pretty old bug, have you done all your IE updates? As Randy said don't bother trying to find the file because it does not exist, MS knows this and has some articles about it but no fix listed that I have found other than uninstalling IE7.
