I just got a bulletin that win7 users need to uninstall one of the patches installed on Tuesday.

Yes, I do the same in Win7. Doreen is right on point. There were a number of security updates last Tuesday. Some caused some problems with third party software and so Microsoft issued more updates a day or two later. Tuesday is their regular day. I was among those who had some problems, so I uninstalled the updates (used a restore to restore to before the updates came in) and then reinstalled. The later updates caused me no problem. And not everyone was affected by the updates since it involved software on the specific computer. I am an early adopter of almost all security updates since I am on the computer day and night and want it secure. Some wait a day or two before updating. Elaine Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. --unknown Hello doreen On Monday, April 15, 2013, you wrote > Jean I always right click on the little yellow > sheild and a box comes up > that tells you what the updates are I am also using XP > Doreen

When I click on the shield all I get is nothing. Nothing opens or pops up. If I place the cursor on the shield I get downloading updates: 3%. This shows for a while then the shield disappears. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ETM" <[email protected]> To: "doreen wheatley" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 15, 2013 2:38 PM Subject: Re: [GN] Computer updating > Yes, I do the same in Win7.

I've tried that too, but nothing shows up there either. I'm afraid that I have a gremlin somewhere.

Wait for someone on the list who understands and know computers to get a correct answer. However, when that shields appears in my task bar or what ever and is located at the bottom near the time frame, this is what I do. Turn off the computer and it will ask me if I want to down loac update and and then the computer will turn itself off after the update it finish and I answer yes. I also use XP pro. But please wait until you get a reply from someone who knows computer and I certainly do not. ellen For the last couple of days a yellow shield keeps appearing in the task > bar. > It shows that it is downloading updates, but it never gets past 3%.

For the last couple of days a yellow shield keeps appearing in the task bar. It shows that it is downloading updates, but it never gets past 3%. Then it will disappear, only to reappear later. I have tried to determine what is updating but can't find out what. I have went to Windows update to see if there is an update that I need, but it doesn't show that I do. I have scanned computer with AVG, ran Ccleaner, Malwarebytes, Cleanup. Nothing found. Any ideas or is this just a windows update that is taking a very long time? Windows XP SP3 and horrors, dialup.

I was looking at Ancestry.com earlier today and the viewing screen of Ancestry got smaller. There is a two inch margin on each side of the screen. The writing is so small I can barely read it. After I have a search page open, I can hit keys and enlarge the writing but not the screen. It cuts the sides of the screen off. I can move side to side to see all of the screen, but not all at once. I am talking aobut the suggestions page that opens after a census search or such. Using the squares between the red X to close and the minus to minimize the screen, but it does not get rid of the 2 inch margins at the sides of the page. I can't get the two parallel bars to pull the screen wider. More to the point of what did I do, is what can I do to undo it? Nancy W

Pat. a bit of addendum.... I got another notice that it had some "spam" in it. That's why it was "undeliverable."

NeySa, i PRINTED out your reply, and will do some checking on any fishy email! Thanks! NancyT On 4/13/2013 2:02 PM, Neysa wrote: > I get those kinds of emails from my "daughter". not her, of course. I use Outlook Express and in the upper part of the screen where it lists the emails coming in, if you right click on the sender, then open Properties, you can see that it wasn't actually sent from her email address.

Pat, sometimes they sound almost plausible.... Did I get myself into any trouble by replying? The mailer dingus couldn't deliver my reply. About that time, I began to get a bit suspicious....

Definitely do that, Nancy. Your own library might be able to help you if they are computerized and reaching the internet. You do not want your account open to anyone else.

Thanks, Bruce. No one ever bothered to explain that to me.

I did that and have downloaded the ebook. They did insist on a business email address so I used my other email address and it worked.
