On your weekend update...could you maybe put text under each of the icons under the title bar?
Something that we can see/read to know where to click without having to point at each icon to figure out what it is?

Thanks for this. I have installed Spybot. It worked really well for a while. But now, not so much. I've been working with their tech support peeps to fix it with no luck so far.
I have disconnected the check if default box on Firefox but can't find it on IE.

Another option is to goto Uniblue.com and download "SpeedupmyPC"
Make sure you don't have it set to run everytime you turn on your computer...but run it 3 times and then turn it off.
It cleans your registry and you'll notice a big difference.
If things slow down again...run it again and turn it off.
If it is set to run in the background, it actually bogs down your PC because it's trying to run scans all the time.
As far as your IE setting...go here:
Tools: Internet Options (or Options depending on your version)
Click on the Programs Tab
There should be a checkbox towards the bottom that says: Tell me if Internet Explorer is not the Default Browser
Make sure that is unchecked.

Question for you GOM:
I've noticed on many threads that the text extends to the end of the text box when people make posts. When I post, however, the threads seem to appear as though as I get close to the end of my text box I am making a "carriage return" (how old school is that?
), and thus making my tests tall & narrow instead of wide & short.
Is that a setting I have to change somewhere? Or something you can adjust?
I know it doesn't happen to everyone...so I'm assuming a setting for me, but I can't seem to find the setting.
Thanks.

Yeah, it's actually on your reply box. There is a field to toggle between WYSIWYG and plain text. I think that will take care of it. Unless you are cutting and pasting. I seem to recal that causes wierd "carriage return" like posts.

Ego, The days of me upgrading my computer every 6 months are over. This computer I am on is only because my other AMD64 3500+ I fried the power distribution chip on the MB. I just need to replace the MB or the chip, but my soldering skills have become very rusty in my old age.
That and I no longer play Video games
no time with a young family.
I do miss Star Wars Galaxies, and World Of Warcraft.
I have reverted to posting on forums, much like what we use to do back in the day, before PC games got good.

I could never have a bar.... kind of useless to spend money building something to hold empties.
