Susan, Recently my computer died and have now got a new one and downloaded all the stuff saved on Carbonite. Having a look through the files and checking it was all there I came across a file marked "Other people's stuff" in it was a folder with your EMMET/RILEY/FIELDING families.

I have worn out two cooling pads. Both failed due to wear erosion of the plastic fan element. Until they died they did a good job.

Rich, Yes please!! Bless you!!! I have been trying to back track on some of this to recover what was lost. For the most part I have been successful as I had "sourced" it in TMG. Some I had paper copies, some was only digital copies. Most of the UK stuff was digital from Ancestry. Thank you SO VERY much for this and for being smarter than I. I am getting either an external to back up to or doing Carbonite. It took over four hours and five DVD discs to back up what is on my laptop already. I really really do appreciate all the help I have received in getting my computer back in order.

Hi I have just installed updates and now I have a box appeared in the taskbar a white oblong box it says searchdesktop and a small circle to click on how do I remove it please it looks dreadful I dont know how I got Doreen

I downloaded IrfanView and scanned a photo. There was no option to 'send to email recipient' from the completed scan. Had to save to file then send file. From the scan on Paint I can send direct to email. Seems easier to me, if one intends to attach to email to go through Paint. Otherwise either program will work with the printer to scan. Thanks. Still frustrating that something that should work, doesn't.

I have a few of those stories. Some I have found to be true, some partaily true and some are still out there waiting. My dad always said we were related to the Browning's of Browning firearms. As a kid/young adult it was "right dad, sure". Then I find out that John Moses Browning was my dad's grandmother Olives's older half-brother. How cool is that? There is a story that my Great Great Grandmother Mary Lucretia Cull ran away from her older brothers house at age 16 to make her way to California to find her dad. Family lore says some monkeys were turned loose in the middle of a dinner party, so Mary and her niece Ellen could make their getaway. No proof so far, but a version of the story is in more than one line down from her. One, that as far as I can tell did not come from family, is that she came west with a "party of young women" looking to make new lives for themselves. Since this was around 1860-62 that one sounds weird to me. Another says her husband Benjamin Franklyn Lockhart was a ships captain who sank his "ship, cargo and crew" to keep from being caught by the blockaders during the war off the Carolina coast. The ship was a "Blackbirder" or slave ship according to the story. Only the captain and first mate made it to shore. There are holes in this one as the only ship called the "Hungarian" I can find went between Ireland and Nova Scotia and carried immigrants. Second, Ben's dad and brother were ships captains not he, as far as I've found. Third, he was in California at the time in question. So? Who knows, not me...yet. I love looking for these stories, and they are in the family history w/notes that they are proven or not proven.

I spent time yesterday looking for the answer to a friend's dilemma. Family said that a ggg grandmother was one surname and some online information gave another surname. She insisted she was right because that was what the family said. Actually they were both right and it all boiled down to how exact she wanted to be. The person in question was raised by her maternal grandparents and the only place this was found was on the 1860 census. A legal adoption was unlikely in that time period but every step needs to be documented as thoroughly as possible. In my own family I have made some members unhappy because I proved we are not direct descendants of a certain Civil War General. Hey, the man never had any biological children. Much less a son. Have fun with family lore and tell us about some that you have either validated or debunked.

This may sound like the silliest question ever, but did you attach the chill mat to your computer via the USB cable? I've had these, and don't recall them making much noise, so feeling the air would be the way to check. However, remember that the air is going INTO the mat, not out. That said, from the website I found, apparently this model is pretty prone to failure. If you bought it locally, carry it back and have them "show" you how it is (or is not) working. Good luck.

I always thought the problem with the other printer was that it was not compatible with Vista, and I believe that is the problem with the newer one. All other functions work well and scanning through Paint does work. No wonder Vista did not last long. Other than this problem, I have no complaints with Vista although I probably would not have bought this myself. It was a gift and I never look a gift horse in the mouth...isn't that what's said?
