Thank you

[Guest Ed Meza]

This is a follow up to the last thread I participated "Re: Using Registry

Repair Tool to fix your..." I njust wanted to thank Mart, Mike, Loom,

Heather, Alan and several other people who through the years have helped me

resolved problems with Win ME.

I finally decided to upgrade my system to Windows Vista Home Edition and

have tucked away the old box.

 

I truly appreciate your help.

 

Cheers!

Re: Thank you

 

Ed,

 

Good to read that you've solved your problems by buying yourself a new PC,

or at least a new OS, but don't feel you have to go away just because

you're now running Vista. A number of those posting here run either or

both of XP and Vista plus various other OSs so keep in touch and perhaps

even post the odd question here if you find the Vista general NG to be too

"noisy" for your taste. It's not as if we're particularly busy here

nowadays.

 

Cheers and the best of luck for the future,

Re: Thank you

 

Thank you, Ed......but you are not rid of us yet. (G) You may find

that Vista has its own set of problems and that the Vista groups are,

shall we say, aggressive. Dunno myself because I am lucky to still have

XP.

 

Cheers....Heather

Re: Thank you

 

Thank you so much MIke. No, I don't intend to just go away.

I've found out through the years that Win Me NG is by far the

best group. Thus I'll be visiting and/or posting questions,

since I know there are good, patient & knowledgeable folks

here.

 

Best of luck to you too. Hope your health is much improved.

 

Cheers!

Re: Thank you

 

Hi Mart,

 

I agree that it was a bit extreme, but the good old box had too many

'limitations.'

Any updates/upgrades required either 2000, XP or Vista. I too think that it

will be

worth it in the long run.

 

Thank you so much for your response & nice message. -- Now, I'm very curious

about that secret recipe of extra hot chillies. I bet is a good one!

 

Like I said in my prior posts, I'll be visiting you guys on ocassion.

Answers are more

straight forward in this NG.

 

Cheers!

Glad to hear that you don't intend to leave us completely Ed, me I've got

all three systems running here, WinME, XP Home and Vista Home Premium, all

different machines of course [;)] and watch several of the ng's and forums

Thank you Joanie. True words about getting to know people while exchanging

problem situations, yet maintaining a good sense of humor. Best of luck to

you in all your endeavors.

 

I didn't mention all the names of good people who helped me through the

years, but special thanks also to good old Noel (Mike, if you read this,

please pass this on to him); to George Gee and so many others.

[Guest Heirloom]

Re: Thank you

 

Congrats Ed! I haven't had the cojones to go with Vista, I'm sticking with

XP SP3 for as long as possible. SWMBO is running Vista Home Premie on her

laptop.....I don't like it......too much eye candy for me. I'm sure it will

be fine once you get used to it doing everything for you, lol. Oh, and on

the NG's....good luck. My experience with the XP NG's was less than

pleasant, so, I came back here with my old friends (heavy on the 'old',

<g>). Besides, with the advent of Google and other things, it is simply too

easy to find answers on one's own. But, if one gets in a real bind, one can

always call on the world's best gurus in this NG.

Mike comes immediately to mind, but, certainly not the only one.

 

The real appeal to this NG is the way everyones gets along with one another,

and not.....just like a real family. I saw the post on the 'chili recipe'

and thought that I might be able to answer a question, but, nay, it was just

a joke. However, if anyone would like a good recipe for some newkyoolar

chile, I could fix them up. With properly secured bedding of sufficient

strength, it can help keep you warm in the winter.

 

You had better stop in frequently, Ed! You are one of the originals, a

charter member, you carry battle scars and secrets.

 

Heirloom, old and looking out for Ike

Re: Thank you

 

Hi good ole Heirloom,

I was aware that your wife was running Vista on her laptop. I agree with

you, it's too much eye candy at the beginning, but you can customize it as

you please. There are a couple of obnoxious things, like little windows that

come up to ask you to continue, yet with practice I'll get rid of that

feature. I just visited the Vista NG once and found an answer right away --

maybe I just got lucky.

 

Yeah, this NG is much friendlier and one is never left out in left field.

Write to Mart about the chili recipe, he also has an original.

As far as Ike, I would not bother looking out for him -- unless *Tina* shows

up!

 

Thanks for the kind words and cheers from Seattle!

Ed

Re: Thank you

 

Ed suggested :-

> Write to Mart about the chilli recipe, he also has an original.

 

Not me, Ed. - I was referring to Heirloom, as our resident chilli expert. He

has described some pretty colourful after-effects of his culinary delights

over the years. HL's your man!

 

Now, about that 'newkyoolar' stuff - even spelt differently in Texas. And,

as Heirloom IS the expert, I will just reset my uk speilchucker to accept

chili as well as chilli

Re: Thank you

 

Ed,

 

As you say, Vista's appearance can be tamed as necessary by switching to

Classic mode just as can XP. As for the UAC (User Access Control) popping

up I don't really find this as troublesome as others. It's most obvious

and perhaps annoying during the initial stages when one is still

installing applications and the like but I don't find it particularly

intrusive thereafter. Whilst it can readily be disabled I prefer to leave

it on as it is a great safety mechanism. What one shouldn't do is simply

click yes every time without thinking about or better knowing why it is

popping up, well not once you've populated your system and had it running

some time.

 

If you haven't already, and it is still relatively early days, I'm fairly

confident you'll come to appreciate Vista and realise how feature rich it

is when compared to its somewhat elderly relative Win Me.

Re: Thank you

 

Hi Ed, I don't think I'd want to turn of UAC you'll find it's not that

irritating it does provide that extra level of security and in these days

having good security is not a bad thing.

What version do you have ?

Re: Thank you

 

Howdy Mike,

 

The more I use the machine, the more I would have to agree with you. The

UAC is a good safety feature at the initial stagtes -- but now it doesn't

bother me as much.

 

Wow, big difference when comparing Vista to the good old Win Me (although I

was used to the old box -- I guess I dind't expect all the great features the

new one has, i.e., ease in customization, picture/video/sound great quality

-- and speed!) To think that I was on dial-up about 3+ years ago it makes e

crinch.

 

I have a question for you, how do you safely turn the Windows Password off.

I have a couple of links -- but like I promise, I would rather get back to

this site and ask the real experts.

 

Also, Norton came with a 60-day trial and I'm using it. No problem

whatsoever. I know that Norton was not good for Win Me. Any recommendations

for Vista? I was happy with Avast Home Edition in the old box.

 

Well, off to the Ocean for a 5-day vacation. So I'll check things out when

I get back.

 

Thank you and have a great week!

Re: Thank you

 

Ed,

 

You can keep the password but not have to enter it each time you logon to

the PC. This means that a password is still needed to access shared files

on the Vista PC from another PC unless they are placed in the public

folder.

 

To do this enter

Control userpasswords2

in the search box (or Run box if in Classic mode), UAC will pop up, say

yes and then on the Users(?) tab uncheck the box that says "Users must

enter a user name and password to use this computer". Click Apply and you

will be asked to select the user (usually you will have just the one) to

be the default when logging on and to enter their password twice. You

should now not need to enter a password whenever starting your PC but

still will if you use Remove Desktop to access the PC or have your

screensaver configured to ask for a password.

 

Please note that the above is the text from a PC running XP (which has the

same functionality) as I don't have my Vista PC or laptops switched on at

present.

 

Norton. Dump it. It's no better on Vista than it is on XP or Win Me.

IOW a total disaster. The last thing you need is a third party "security

suite". It will cripple your PC. The sooner you return to using Avast

and the Vista built-in firewall the better your PC will be.

> Well, off to the Ocean for a 5-day vacation.

 

How I envy you although living in Seattle it's not as if the ocean is far

away. I could certainly do with some sun, sand and sangria at the moment

although as I prefer the Greek islands to Spain let's make that sun, warm

water and ouzo instead. <vbg>

 

Enjoy your break.

Re: Thank you

 

Good thing I asked you about Norton. I shall be leaving in 10 minutes to the

Ocean, but will dump it upon my return.

Very detailed and clear-cut instructions about about the Password issue. I

also

appreciate your response to resolve this issue.

The Ocean is about 2 1/2 hours away from Seattle by car. I envy you for

living in the UK -- since the Greek Islands are relatively close. (It's in my

list of places to go) -- yet, I'll follow your advice and have a drink of

ouzo in your name...Opa!

 

Thank you for your good wishes. Off I go.

 

Cheers!
