The Hobbit Hole XXVII - And there are many paths to tread...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 01/16/2006 6:56:15 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And there are many paths to tread

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Maybe just disable the alert?

This error can be disabled:

-- In Internet Explorer select ‘Tools’, ‘Internet Options’.
-- Select the ‘Advanced’ tab.
-- Check the option ‘Disable script debugging’ (under ‘Browsing’).
-- For the setting change to take effect close down all Internet Explorer windows and reopen.

Should be checked by default, I believe, but its something to look at.

It was checked. It's popping up now even when I'm not going from page to page. I've got themovie in and have the FR notification on...

Found this... there's a bunch of steps done in Hijack This (HJT), which are very technical and therefore I won't reproduce. I'm not sure they're necessary anyway, but try the following:

"These files are all related to MS Messenger, not to be confused with MSN messenger. Unless you're working in an office environment, and the support peoplr need to be able to message you about things, it's unneccesary, and often abused by spammers."

"To disable this, there are several steps involved.
First: open your Norton AV program, and look for "instant messenger protection" and remove the check mark (if it exists). Close.
Second: Open Outlook Express (if you're using it) and go to tools->options, and then the preferences tab. Remove the check from "Alow this program to run in the background", and click OK. Close OE.
Third: Go to your Windows control panel and look for "administrative tools", and once there, "services". Find "Messenger", right click, and choose properties, then select the option to "disable" from the drop down box next to "startup type". Click OK.
Lastly: Before leaving this admin section, right click "Messenger" in the list, and choose "stop".

Reboot the system, and see if this stops the issue.

sigh...

I'm not running Norton
I don't have a preferences tab
Messenger was already disabled and I didn't have the option to "stop"

I feel bad that you guys are spending so much time on this.

Clare encountered something like this on SirKit's laptop last week. It isn't the one he uses for work, and it only has the basic Norton Anti-Virus program on it. He checked when he got home and I think he found that folks were finding some sort of bug in the basic Norton program. His work one had some super duper Norton program that doesn't have the bugs. He's already left for Mass, but I can have him look at your problem when he gets home, if Bear, Rose or Ramius haven't figured it out yet.

Hey, enough eyeballs looking at it might just git er done!

Sorry I can't help much... the site I linked to was the only one I found that mentions any fix.

Thanks. I found some others that involve downloading some cleanup programs. I'm trying to avoid that if I can.

Progress update!

We went garage saling and Rosie got this HUGH plant :~D

And we found a couch that I really liked, and so I bought it so we'll give Rosie our old one.

She also got a big dresser and a big mirror for her Bathroom. It's still in the truck. We also picked up her bookcases from my friend Sonya, and we'll be taking all that over to her place this afternoon.

Next time, when you go couch shopping... take off your sunglasses. :-)

At least it will scare the animals so much that you won't have to wrestle them for a space on it.

Well... it's kinda growin' on me.

But, wow...

Right now, over where you bought it there's somebody on the phone talking to their sister saying "Yah, we're just finishing up, yes, we did OK with the sale... and can you believe it... somebody finally bought ~the sofa~... no!... I can't believe it either..."

Rosie: I'd go real easy on the 'miracle plant grow' with that plant!! :-)

Hair: cool couch, looks like cattails and mallards in the pattern.

In other news, LSA called me to the front window, big ol raccoon climbed out of the storm sewer to check out the corn spillage from the Old Mill. Wildlife in the heart of the city.

One thing the lady said about the plant is that cuttings do really well.

I figger I can pretty well populate my house with cuttings... ;-)

And I have a big window that's just crying out for a nice tall plant.

Heh...that and the whateveritis (a begonia of some type, I think she said it was) would keep me in plants forever, wouldn't it?

I do like aloe plants.

Oh, and I inherited an ivy - it was left in the house, for no explicable reason. The ivy and the bowling ball, all alone together. Hopefully they haven't come up with any horrible schemes that I don't know about yet...

Yeah...it was in a cup of water, but seems to be OK. Just needs potted.
