If it's part of something that's supposed to be there, then I don't know. Sorry.

Ah well, it was worth a shot. Thanks anyway.

Question about Spybot:
I turned on that little thing that causes a little dialogue box to pop up if a page may try to load something on your computer (the kind that generally start installing themselves immediately, asking, "Do you trust this content?" and you're like "HELL NO."). Anyway, I found that gobs of pages (TWoP, IMDb, dictionary.com, etc.) I went to were trying to load this thing called Avenue A, which seemed to be part of the banner ads or something. And frequently, if I blocked the download of it, the page wouldn't load. I'd have to refresh until it found an ad that didn't use Avenue A. Eventually, I got sick of it, so I turned the feature off in Spybot.
Except it didn't turn off. It still gets in the way of the Avenue A download. I have since closed my browser windows and restarted several times (this was months ago), and tried turning it on and off in Spybot again, but it won't go away. What the hell is Avenue A and why is it being such a bitch, and why won't Spybot do what I tell it to?

All is well that ends in pizza.

What the hell! I totally caught up on all the other threads, but didn't in tech? What is wrong with me?
So, waaay upthread, but I am wordlessly pissed re: the Directivo situation. Okay, clearly not wordless. Maybe speechlessly.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
And furthermore, they just pulled Trio, which sucks of the version which is mighty. Directv is the devil.
However, I just found a correspondance address for their programming veep, so I will pen an eloquent diatribe which I'm sure will make them see reason, and reach beyond the political and distribution issues that are coming between me and my Brilliant But Canceled.
Edited again to add: Oh, the irony!

OK - I made the changes . I deleted the dll from my adobe browser subdirectory. (actually renamed it in case I needed.) Could not find a winprefs .js in my mozilla, but found one in open office.org, and commented out the appropriate lines there as well. Thanks, and will let you know how that went.

Ok, my new computer has WordPerfect, not Word. What's the difference?
I'm used to Word, have never used WP and it scares me.

Well, for my purposes not much--it has an irritating habit of trying to turn things I paste into it into numbered lists, and it took a while for me to track down the word count feature. I don't do anything complex with it, though. (You do have to remember to save in an appropriate format if you're going to want to read a file with Word on another computer, obviously.)
