An accountant at a New York ad firm leaped to his death because he was hallucinating that the mannequins at his Manhattan office were chasing him, it was claimed today. David Caquais, 43, opened at window at Catch NY on the fourth floor of a building in Manhattan's Garment District and jumped out about 9pm on January 2. The New York Post reports that Mr Caquais screamed 'They're after me! They're after me!' as he ran around his office and attempted to kick out windows.

No, the rum is called “Because I’ve Been Good And I Deserve It!”
Your boy is 6???? Man! It seems like just yesterday you posted newly born pics of him!
I’m still fighting with the computer, and trying to load everything I need, but it is refusing to let me load the Dragon software, which is what I need if I am to finish transcribing the stuff I have written in longhand.
I don’t know how to get around it, but I will keep trying. If all else fails, I will take the whole thing back to the store and tell them to put it back on the shelf.
This morning, I had an appointment to sign the paper acknowledging “reasonable accommodation” for Sparkle, and was going to take a photo of her, but she would have none of it.
I had bathed the scratches she gave me in anti-bacterial cleanser, but it was the last I had. No Bacitracin. No gauze pads. *sigh* I used all of that stuff on Busdaddy...
I thought my daughter was coming over today, so I made chocolate chip cookies for her to take home. So far, she is a no-show with no explanation.
*sigh* I should know better than to look forward to a visit from her. She just doesn’t have time for me.
So tell me, please, how I can bypass the firewall to install Dragon Software. If I do it “custom,” will that make any difference? I’ve already reset the security level as low as it would let me. Unless there is a lower level I can access by clicking on something.
Well, that’s kind of unnngh. You can put the cookies in the freezer if she doesn’t arrive.
Still cold and wet here. I wish we didn’t have to go out again.
The cookies are currently in a plastic bag, and will soon go into the freezer because I don’t need them.
Lablady always has priorities which control her visits to me, and I understand that. But it doesn’t make it right. And I don’t have to like it. Accept it, yes. Like it, no.
When things are out of your control, acceptance is your best choice.
I’ve learned I have very little control over anything in my life, so I need to learn to accept it all. I certainly can’t change things.
As a former Compaq employee and experienced hardware and software technician I can give you the secret that always works when a Windoze computer gets cranky.
Show it a toaster and tell it that this is where it’s memory chips are going if it doesn’t straighten up and fly right.
Srsly - what do it do when it don’t do what you want it to do? Feel free to FReepmail if you don’t want to involve the rest of the gnag.
You’re talking WinhAte I assume. Thus my first disclaimer is that I have absolutely no hands on experience with that abomination. Also, not seeing exactly what is happening makes it difficult. As an aside, ‘custom’ install usually just gets you a box that lists options of what parts of the program to install (for instance, a custom install of MS Office will allow you to install just Excel without Word, Powerpoint, Outloaf, or any other orts if that’s all you want) and probably won’t allow you to bypass whatever is stopping it from installing.
My first thoughts are that it sounds like something that needs to be run as administrator (if it were Win7 that would be my primary opinion.) In Win7 right-clicking on the file name will bring up a clickbox that has as one of its options ‘Run as Administrator’. How you get that with WinhAte or even if it is an available option I don’t know.
Are you trying to install from a CD/DVD or from a download file? If from a download file, do you have the file already downloaded and on your drive, or does it require an active connection to download its bits ‘n pieces while installing?
What are the indications/gripeboxes that are telling you that Win security is blocking the install? Or the download? or whatever it is? (I personally am very leery of disabling firewalls and security, there’s usually a way to get around them if they are interfering.)
Who on the UT do we know that has some hands on with WinhAte that can chime in here????
Yesterday was Mrs. ArGee’s birthday. Youngest ArGee didn’t have time to drop by, either.
Well, she could have if it could have been after 10:00 p.m.
I know how to delete cookies but I had no idea you could freeze them.
Maybe that’s why your Dragon Software won’t install???
Ancient OFST prayer:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can’t, and the space to bury the bodies of those who really torque me off.
I have some limited experience with WinhAte. RunAsAdministrator is certainly there. A quick GoogAll will tell me how if that’s all that’s needed. But knowing exactly what it do when it don’t do what she want it to do will help ginormously (as you indiciferated).
You actually answered my question about “Custom,” as it was as I suspected, which is why I ask.
It is a CD/ROM and it installed just fine on this machine before it went into the shop for “repairs.” When it came back I have had nothing but problems and I’m about ready to take it back and ask for an HP. At least I know how to navigate somewhat. Toshiba has so many firewalls it isn’t funny.
And I AM the administrator. I decided to click that box at the get-go. Still, if I don’t understand what a certain phrase means, I don’t dare delete or change it.
There is nothing to indicate what is stopping the installation. It goes almost to the end and when it should give me the option to “restart now” or later, it freezes up and will not finish the download.
Happy Late Birthday, Mrs. ArGee! I have some chocolate chip cookies for you, if you’d care to indulge!
Even when your userID is set as an administrator sometimes you have to run things using the “RunAsAdministrator” option.
I don’t know why this should be true, but it is true.
I was trying to get someone’s computer to connect to the Internet. I won’t bore you with details, but the short version was I finally had to run IE as adinistrator to get my changes to the Proxy settings to persist. That was when running a userID that was set up as an administrator.
If it had been my PC I would have given it flying lessons and gone to get an Android tablet.
My lone experience with WinhAte was on one of those barftabletthingies with a Surface, or whatever Redmond called it..) The combo of WinhAte and the stupidity of thinking a touchscreen was a suitable device for any serial computing - especially when trying to troubleshoot it - was all the reinforcement that was needed (as if I needed any in the first place) to determine that not a single cent of my money will ever be used to purchase that piece of excrement or any device that it is housed in...
But yes, seeing what it is doing would help mightily. ;-)
