Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Virus scan, I got. :) Thanks, grommit. Looking at all its little screens, it doesn't seem like there's anything running that shouldn't be. There's a ton of Symantec and Norton things going on, but I'm a-scared to touch them.
The guy who upgraded my system is coming over tomorrow night to take a look at it. I will loom over him menacingly until the system works again. He is bigger than me, but his fiancee is my friend, so I have leverage.

Good to hear. If you have the choice to switch to Windows XP, do so. Just make sure it's done as a fresh installation (complete with reformat), and not an upgrade of the existing Windows ME setup.
Needless to say, backing up your data beforehand would be a good idea.
Windows ME is a fancier version of Windows 98.
More like bolluxed and bloated and hamstrung and labyrinthine...
Sadly, that feature does not list Apple's mail program.
Apple's address book application (called, unimaginatively, Address Book) can import from either vCard or LDIF format. It looks like the format named "Netscape Address Book" is actually LDIF and will import into Address Book.
Our client keeps on complaining that a web application we made for them does not work correcty when the user has popup blockers installed (apparantly Javascript code is crashing when it attempts to open a window that gets blocked by the popup blocker). It works OK with the google toolbar (with popup blocker) installed on IE. What are some other popular popup blockers out there?
I think I used this one for a while: [link]
Sue, you around? I created a simple Access 2002 mdb that does what you want. Should I send to your profile address?
Insent to you already, tommyrot, but yes please!
And THANK YOU. I hope it will work.

So tell them that they could put a note on the web site saying that the user may have to make an exception for the site in their popup blocker. At least until you have a workaround.
IE 6 now has a popup blocker, in XP SP2, and of course, so does Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox. I think Symantec has one.
Upgrade update: Thanks for all your help and advice, everyone. I now have Windows XP and Mozilla Firefox, and the problems are solved (so far). Happy me.
