Here is a sample of what happens if I try to search. In this case I manually entered the address for Goggle which caused the usual Google search page to open. I then entered my name -- Gustavus -- and started a search. Instantly the address bar changed to...
Thanks for the replies. It had never occurred to me that I might have a redirect virus since I run ESET Smart Security 8.304 which updates virus definitions several times each day -- but now that you mention it the long addresses that appear on any search sound like that might be the case. A...
Some time ago I built a new system: EVGA Z77 FTW motherboard, Intel i5 2500K CPU, 250 GB SSD etc. running Windows 8.1. Microsoft kept reminding me I was eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10 which I ignored for a long time. Like a damn fool I finally let them install Windows 10 -- which I...

The EVGA Z77 FTW motherboard has an onboard temperature monitor which I can see since no computer case ever gets closed here. I am running one of the half day backtracking routines right now and the temperature is varying up to 52 or 53.
The harddrive -- a Western Digital black is...
Yes, I have run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.1.6. Clean bill of health -- nothing found.
Speed seems good -- one million digits of Pi in 8.5 seconds
Of course the real overclockers are getting under 6 seconds

Boy is my face red! The Corel software is not on the SSD. I just checked what is on the SSD in the programs folder and it isn't there. Problem solved
Thanks
I have a big computation running on both machines this morning, but will make the change over as soon as it finishes...
Corel shows as system requirements for Word Perfect
•Microsoft Windows 10, Microsoft Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit editions), Windows XP (32-bit edition) with the latest service packs and updates installed
so I think it is compatible with both machines. That doesn't say...
I know Intel CPU's will throttle if they get hot. The cooler on the 2500K is a Cooler Master V6 GT -- the size of a toaster -- with two fans working in push-pull.
I hadn't thought about the fact that one machine is running 32 bits and the other 64. I will have to check to see if there is a...

I don't have a screen capture software on the new machine -- the one with the SSD -- but the ATTA benchmark software ver. 3.05 shows from 64K through 64 Meg the write speed is nominally 430 MB/sec and the read mostly over 460 MB/sec.

I have two computers running Windows 8.1. I had several reminders from Microsoft that I should indicate if I wished to receive the Windows 10 upgrade when it became available. I said yes and know that worked since I received a couple of notices I would receive it in due course since they were...

The original configuration -- with the Motorola SB 6121 before I upgraded to the SB 6141 -- was the modem connected to the Linksys EA6400 router which was connected by a short ethernet cable to a D-Link 1105 gigabit switch. The only things that used the wireless connection were...

Thanks. The citation you found may have saved me a lot of wasted time. It says:
"The bold and italic functions are available for default font Helvetica, so if you want to do this, please choose Helvetica as the font."
The three journals I most often publish in specify "Times...
Just discovered an anomaly that unless I can figure out why it is happening may force me to give up on FoxIt. I am in the final stages of preparing camera ready copy for a journal that accepts text in pdf format. All equations, figures, footnotes etc. must be set in camera ready copy. It is...
Thanks. I use a Microsoft mouse with cursor wheel -- but had never had occasion to click it before. Works the way I expect now. Downloaded the 202 page manual for FoxIt with the thought -- If all else fails, read the manual.
No problem with FoxIt so far, but a question. I am accustomed to being able to place the mouse cursor over the bar to the right of the display and by holding down the mouse button scroll the displayed page up and down. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to do that in FoxIt. I can click...
Uninstalled Adobe Reader using Your Uninstaller so I could take advantage of it's most thorough uninstall. Installed FoxIt rejecting any optional extras. Have opened several WordPerfect published pdf files and so far no amomalies. Hope that fixes the problem.
Thanks for the help
ketchup79
Sorry about that. I am 84 so apparently getting forgetful.
I have spent a lot of time today reading up on Foxit, Nitro, Sumatra etc. I was already suspicious my anomaly was tied to Adobe Speed Launch and am now pretty sure it is. Foxit sounds great but there are uncountably many...
Thanks for the reply ketchup79
No, if you saw a similar thread elsewhere it wasn't by me. I'll look for it to see if there was any resolution of the problem.
I can't be sure my computer is OK, but denying permission for the program to be installed in startup seems to be working. At least...

We have all developed habits in how we do things. I don't often need safe mode, but every once in awhile I need to make changes that would be interferred with or prevented by software which would load if I allowed a full boot.

You are right. The two computers I keep running most of the time are XP machines. I have a 4.3 GHz machine and a laptop running 8.1 which after nearly a year's experience I hate almost as much as having a root canal. Small example from today. For several generations of Windows by...
I think I have a good AV -- ESET System Security 6.0.308 which updates the virus definitions several times each day.
Neither it nor SuperAntiSpware find any suspicious entries
Doesn't make any difference something is going on that isn't right.
Registry search turns up four instances of 1433978100 -- whcih can't be deleted. Well they can, but immediately return.
Search Everything finds no instance.

It doesn't appear in a Windows search, but does appear in a registry search. When I delete it, it returns immediately with Win Patrol popping up the following box
I've run both of Antimalware's programs and they did not find the culprit.

It seems by examining the...
Many thanks to all of you who responded. I could not establish contact with my router from my computer, but my son-in-law brought over his lap top and we linked the laptop to the router with an ethernet cable. That was a crucial first step. After that it was a long and frustrating experience...
Anytime I open a pdf document with Adobe Reader, Win Patrol pops up saying it has detected a new program 1433978100 which will start anytime the computer starts etc. This has been going on for quite a long time and I simply deny permission -- in Win Patrol -- for it to be installed. There is...

Well, I am back where I started. I followed the instructions in the documentation as far as I could -- connected the modem to the router. let the router settle etc. The third step says
Connect to the secure wireless name shown in the Quick Start Guide that
came with your router...
ketchup79
Thanks. I will try again but will be off net and out of communication with the outside world -- if things go as they have until now -- until I go back to just the modem to computer and do a power cycle of the modem to get back on net
Going to try again

"Correctly"? These are the connections
I connect the incoming cable to the modem. I connect the modem to the internet connector on the router with an ethernet cable. I connect the router to the computer. Is that what you consider to be correct?
I have done precisely that setup...
Elixer,
My PC is not connected to my router. If I connect the router my computer reports no network connection. The link you gave says:
Step 1:
Connect your computer to the router using an Ethernet cable.
NOTE: If you want to set up the router using a wireless computer, then you may...
Thanks for the response.
Since my only phone access is the VOIP Ooma and a Microcell boosted cellphone I am in a Catch 22 situation. If I initiate the transfer of the MAC remotely, the moment Comcast "activates" the new modem MAC I am unable to communicate with them to go to the next step...
No -- I cannot get on my network either. I have a printer server and a server which were connect to the router before the change of modem. Can't see or access either of them. And of course the most serious, The Ooma box can't see the cable so I have no phone.
I ran the following experiment...

I have eliminated the router as the problem. Got out a D-Link Dir 655 which I know works without a problem made the simple install of modem to router, router to computer and can't go on internet, Have many ethernet cables here in the lab so all cables have been replaced.
So, bottom...
Elixer, First, thanks.
I have of course power cycled the modem and router many times -- allowing plenty of time for the LEDs to stabilize. I have even powered down the computer and rebooted after the power cycle completed. Not being able to get the router and switch to work is major...
