A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Ask Mr. Gremelin time stamps

the time stamps are missing from nearly every topic and post, is it my computer?

Mine are here. I don't know. Because I know Bill had issues similar to yours recently.

Go to your preferences and make sure that "Show Relative Times? 5 minutes ago, Yesterday @ 2:00, etc." is set to 'no' Let me know if that helps.
You may have to delete your forum cookies (bottom of page) Let me know if that helps...

Should be fixed now...

Thank you!
You're worth every penny of that five bucks I sent you for Christmas...
I don't care what anyone says!

;)...

see PT for response lol

Boy Mog . can really mess us up if he so desires.

James .......know anything about dial up using Norton 360 3.0?

My new machine is windows 7.
Norton will not update on it? I didnt realize that till the other computer died an I bought this one.
I had a Broken Heat Sink......

Also is there a cable I can get to download the files from the old computer even if it isnt working/

dodge......

Problems by the number.

Dialup? :snicker:...

Ummm, you can't really port updates from the old computer to the new one, it's not really how updates work, programs get items tied up in the registry and if you go mucking about you can really mess things up...

So long as the computer is connected to the internet you should be able to update any program however...

Personally, the only thing I use on my computer for "security" is Avast Personal Edition (which is a virus scanner, and the personal edition is free).

You like to snicker at me , dont you?
It is nt my fault I chose living up on the hightest point of the county.

You got a little mix here..Norton .
Norton is suppose to update on its own here. Made for 3 computers.
It didnt update on the one that died. Someone said it is make for Fast net.
ON the box it say???????????

So how did we die/

Well My Hot Sink broke........

b

Well, heatsinks are made to disperse heat accross a chip (or several chips) on the motherboard, versus just letting heat pile up in one area which could allow the chip to melt or malfunction. Usually if it melts you'll smell burnt silicon for a while lol...

No real fix if it burns out other than to replace whatever chips burnt out (which the only real one you can replace is the CPU since they're made to allow you to upgrade).

The hard drive you probably could just add to your computer, but you'd have to get your hands dirty and I'm not sure you'd be too comfortable with doing it yourself...

Thanks James,

Get hands dirty is a daily chore here on the farm. I am the grease monkey some days, since hubbys hands dont work well.

No I wont fix one. I bought a cheap compaq , which I can kill next.
Windows 7........Now no Outlook express.

Whats a good idea to replace Outlook? I arent on hotmail or any of those
Thanks

I have a Dell but it is not a fancy one for sure

Barb, use "Windows mail" it likley came with your computer(??)--. AND it is a whole lot like OE, well at least it took nothing for me to learn how to use. One of the girls set it up for me.
James: did it come loaded with my computer or did the girls download it free???

The good point of using it?? i kept the e-mail address I had had on Outlook express--which is the one my server gave to me years ago when I first got on the internet..

I just have a cheap Compaq with window 7.
DO you use it on Dial up? Probably not. is the reason I have this problem.

I did use it on dial-up, back when I had dial-up
I have had this windows mail for quite awhile now. Long before I was on the DSL I have now.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a great free/open source alternative to Windows Mail, Outlook, or Outlook Express... In fact, I prefer it to all three and then some... Clicky

Thanks James

Have to check it out.
