computer question 2
On VISTA Norton's firewall is not allowing websites to be viewed at all.
Just as if there was no internet connection. We can send and recieve email but we have to turn off Nortons firewall to view any webpages. We are on a dial up connection. Very fustrating. Anyone have a clue? Norton said Microsoft Generic Host should be on but could not find that specific option in Vista. Any clue? Thanks in advance. John the non-computer expert. |

Have you allowed your web browser to access the internet? It may be the firewall has a setting where you allow whatever program to access.

Why are you using Norton antivirus when Comcast gives you McAfee for free as part of the package and you have to pay for Norton? Also when I got new computer with Vista, IE was extremely slow. Not sure why but Firefox is much better. Frank |

computer question 2
Sorry I hit the wrong sig. After being told we had to reformat and
reinstall, which I was willing to return computer rather than that, we found out that the iexporer.exe file in the firewall settings was corrupt. I removed it and reinstalled it and all is well.

He can't leave us alone or figure out when his knowledge would be helpful. Not that his cut and paste interactions are all that satisfying.

My car won't start, but it turns over and makes a ticking noise. What should I do? Look, I kind of know you guys or gals, I know nobody on computer news groups. Even though we disagree on many tree care practices and my method of supplying information, I kind of think I could trust you. I.e., I don't think you would try to mislead me with a computer question. By the response to my last question many people here had more of experience with Vista than me. E.g., I had Dell on the phone and they decided I was going to reformat and reinstall software. I don't think so. Once I told them if we had to reformat a new computer we were going to return the computer and buy one with XP which I am a little more experienced with. They did finally put someone else on the phone and they discovered it was the firewall. I knew it was just a little problem and reformatting would not have changed the situation. GOD BLESS DELL, they have hooked me up with everything I asked. As far as trees go and my information - nobody suggest that planting deep is a problem or any help with the issues I mention and if I don't do it who will? About you car. Your car is like a tree in a sense that it is a system. Maybe you should remove the spark plugs. The same as suggesting we need to remove woody debris (nurse logs) from a forest for health. The system functions better with spark plus and the different ecological stages of trees. If I had a solution for your car I would offer it. My tree has a problem and insects, fungus, bacteria, animals as well are present. What should I do? If I killed everything would it help my tree? What chemical should I use? -- Sincerely, John A.
