    Good afternoon, smah. You are the man!!! Went to the site you suggested, printed it out to read it carefully, saw sentence on second page re IEFix Usage and hyperlink issue. Tried it first, as suggested, and now things are back where they should be. Thus, did not have to do the download...

    Cannot Open Links Shown in Some E-mail

    Thanks for your response Matt J. No, nothing happens. I now suspect that it has something to do in one of SP2's security settings. This morning I got one of SP2's security warnings when I tried to go from a current web page to a trusted site: support.microsoft, etc. Clicked Yes but just got a...

    Cannot Open Links Shown in Some E-mail

    For the past several days I have been unable to click/open links posted in some OE 6 e-mail. Cannot recall anything I've done to cause this problem. Any ideas as to how I can correct this situation? Many thanks.

    SP2 on CD

    Just some info for readers who might be interested. Ordered my CD from Microsoft online and was surprised to receive it in 5 days! Noticed they are using a warehouse in Ohio to get them to customers in the eastern U.S. In addition, the day after I ordered the CD from Microsoft I was in an...

    Noise Problem Only At Startup ?

    Good morning. Just an update on my noise problem, in the event you are still interested. My manufacturer sent a tech guy this morning and it turned out to be one of the fans (made in China, of course). All is well -- for now!. Thanks again. Robert

    Noise Problem Only At Startup ?

    Good morning! Thanks to all that replied. This morning the noise did not stop. In fact, it is continuing very softly right now. Now it has stopped completely. Yes, the PC is still in warranty. Just wanted to check here for advice before calling my builder. Plan to do so now. Will take the...

    Noise Problem Only At Startup ?

    Have a PC that is just 11 months old. Yesterday when I started the computer, I got a noise coming from the PC or the DSL modem. It lasted for just a few seconds, until about the time the desktop appeared. It made no further noise the rest of the day and everything worked just fine. Today the...

    How To Get Rid of Comet Cursors?

    Hello Doc. Went looking for Comet Cursor in WinZip again and tracked down two listings. This time I was able to delete them -- if they are truly deleted! If they pop up again I'll use the URL you listed to get them off my system. Again, thanks for your interest and pointing me/us in the right...

    How To Get Rid of Comet Cursors?

    Thanks, Doc, for your response to my question of months ago. I will try tomorrow the URL you mentioned and let you know how it turned out. Right now, the Comet Cursor is in my WinZip program -- not in Add/Remove. Will try the Uninstaller mentioned in the link and, if successful, will give them...

    How To Delete Some Icons in the Notification Tray?

    Wow! Thanks guys for all the input. linney, I took a look at the three links you noted but didn't find anything there to really solve the situation. I did try to uncheck the two items in the StartUp listing but when I rebooted they popped right back in the listing. Guess it was because the...

    How To Delete Some Icons in the Notification Tray?

    A report: bcaster, I tried your directions but I do not have a "Never Display" -- only Hide When Inactive, Always Hide and Always Show. Steven S, I can remove an icon from the system tray (disable) until I reboot or turn the computer on for the day. In checking the program settings of two...

    How To Delete Some Icons in the Notification Tray?

    Good afternoon! My memory must be slipping, as I cannot recall how to delete some icons in the Notification (System) tray. I have about 10 there now and I want to get rid of several I don't use often -- yet keep those programs in the Start>All Programs listing. Did this with Windows 98 but don't...

    Problem Deleting Extra Copies of Digital Pictures

    Hi linney. Thanks for your second response. I did what you said and got all of them deleted. Maybe doing them all at once was the key. Previous, I had been doing 10 or 20 deletions at a time. Again, many thanks. You've got a gold star coming!

    Problem Deleting Extra Copies of Digital Pictures

    Thanks linney for your reply. I gather what you are saying is that we have to manualy delete each photo copy one at a time. Is that correct?

    Good afternoon. In trying to transfer some digital photos from the Pictures file to a CD, there was some sort of snafu in which extra copies of the pictures were added in the file folder. In trying to help, I held down the Ctrl key, click on each duplicate copy and then click "Delete Selected...

    Need ID's For Two Zone Alarm Alerts

    Thanks for your response, bcastner. Want to be sure what you are saying. You say "leave alone." They haven't been O.K.'ed for admission to Zone Alarm. We assume you are saying they are part of the AT&T internet service and to let them in to Zone Alarm as "allowed" or...
