Well, let's see. I'm an industrial mechanic, since I guaduated high school in '74. I have also overcome many of life's abversities because I made some very unhealthy choices in life. But now I know that I have choices, what I do makes a difference in mine and other people's lives. I currently spend my free time riding my Goldwing motorcycle, a great past time here in western Mass. I've never been married, and believe in living life simply, as in no drama.

  • What to do when this window pops up?

    OK, here's what happens. Like I'll be on email, and I'll get one that says someone left me a message from yahoo answers. So I'll click on the link, and all is good. When I reply, a window pops up with the reply form. I'll be typing my reply, and sometimes inadvertently hit the "ALT GR" key with the space bar. When this happens, a small blue window will pop up on the top left, looks like the one when you click on "FILE". The window that that pops up in freezes, I can't type in it or close it. I can move the cursor and close other windows, but I can't do anything in that window. I even tried right clicking on the bar at the bottom of the screen that relates to that window, but the other window that would pop up and give me the close option doesn't appear. The only way out is to unplug the laptop and remove the battery. Anyone know what I can do to unstick this window? I bought this ACER laptop with Windows Vista OS. When I emailed Acer, they told me that the laptop/notebook was out of warranty, and they wanted to charge me $60 to tell me what to type. I told them to shove it, and they just lost a customer. $60 to tell me what to type.... ludachrist!

  • my laptop maker, Acer, suggests that I don't install the updates that microsoft sends me. Should I listen? why?

    Acer did tell me that their drivers (hardware) are already configured for maximum whatever. And this is a laptop, so space is a consideration. But I would think that updates from microsoft for my vista OS would be a good thing. I would appreciate your feedback since Microsoft wants $99 dollars for the privilege of asking them a question. I guess Bill doesn't quite have enough money already
