    1. [GN] Givaway of the Day
    2. The Givaway of the Day is Aiseesoft DVD Copy 5.0 The web page says it will copy DVDs, incliding movies, in various ways. I'm going to give it a try. First thing I noted is the sneaky part. The big blue "Download" button is NOT for the DVD copier but rather for a questionable "PDF Create" and lots of junk that's a mess to clean out. ( Been burned onece. I've wised up to their tricks.) The true download is the one that is underlined "Download Aiseesoft DVD Copy 5.0 now". And read the comments, too. One commenter advises "don't do the updates, or they'll deactivate in a few weeks and you'll to buy it." I'm just downloading and installing the program in case I ever want to copy a movie DVD. But just in case, if I ever do, I'll be ready. I can already duplicate regular non-DRM CD/DVDs. Here's the link: _http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/aiseesoft-dvd-copy/?utm_source=feedburner&u tm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+giveawayoftheday%2Ffeed+%28Giveaway+of+ the+Day%29_ (http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/aiseesoft-dvd-copy/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed:+giveawayoftheday/feed+(Giveaw ay+of+the+Day)) Woody

    2. ETM
    3. Some items are difficult. Shut down completely, then restart, and then see if you can drag the empty folder to the trash bin. I think it will work. I keep several uninstallers on my computers. I do not like those that are very technical and especially don't like those that make one choose which files to delete. The program is supposed to help us dunderheads and tell us which ones should be deleted (that's why I always encourage the use of CCleaner which does check off the files and does suggest making a backup). I think ASC is similarly kind to the user. So use it and be glad there are some programs that don't require that we be experts. Remove can find things that other programs never seem to find. But it is only free for so long and hten one must buy. So don't install it until and unless you have become desperate. I do own it <grin> and right now am requesting a new activation number from the programmer. The program is keyed to the computer and not to the user. Ugh!

    3. Outlook Express has never had a spell checker, and always depended on the spell checker that comes with any word processor program, be it MS Office, Word Perfect or Quick Office.

    3. Hi There, Elaine, I just put Advanced Care back on windows 7. When my friend and I were working on my mouse problem he took all my extra programs off. However, with iobit uninstaller I have been able to remove all of AVG that was left except the Folder File which states is empty. Even though I am Administrator of this computer I get the message that I can't remove the folder because only the Administrator can do that. Good grief!
