Thank you

[Ed Meza]

This is a follow up to the last thread I participated "Re: Using Registry
Repair Tool to fix your..." I njust wanted to thank Mart, Mike, Loom,
Heather, Alan and several other people who through the years have helped me
resolved problems with Win ME.
I finally decided to upgrade my system to Windows Vista Home Edition and
have tucked away the old box.

I truly appreciate your help.

Cheers!

Ed,

Good to read that you've solved your problems by buying yourself a new PC,
or at least a new OS, but don't feel you have to go away just because
you're now running Vista. A number of those posting here run either or
both of XP and Vista plus various other OSs so keep in touch and perhaps
even post the odd question here if you find the Vista general NG to be too
"noisy" for your taste. It's not as if we're particularly busy here
nowadays.

Cheers and the best of luck for the future,

Thank you, Ed......but you are not rid of us yet. (G) You may find
that Vista has its own set of problems and that the Vista groups are,
shall we say, aggressive. Dunno myself because I am lucky to still have
XP.

Cheers....Heather

Thank you so much MIke. No, I don't intend to just go away.
I've found out through the years that Win Me NG is by far the
best group. Thus I'll be visiting and/or posting questions,
since I know there are good, patient & knowledgeable folks
here.

Best of luck to you too. Hope your health is much improved.

Cheers!

Wow! - One heck of a way to fix your WinMe registry problem <g> a bit
extreme, but probably best in the long run!

Good to know that you intend to stick around - we tackle anything here from
lonely hearts to blocked drains - oh, and the odd computer issue thrown in.
Not to mention one resident expert on extra hot chillies. (Who has never
knowingly divulged his secret ingredient)

> I truly appreciate your help.

I'm sure that on behalf of us all, you're most welcome.

Hi Mart,

I agree that it was a bit extreme, but the good old box had too many
'limitations.'
Any updates/upgrades required either 2000, XP or Vista. I too think that it
will be
worth it in the long run.

Thank you so much for your response & nice message. -- Now, I'm very curious
about that secret recipe of extra hot chillies. I bet is a good one!

Like I said in my prior posts, I'll be visiting you guys on ocassion.
Answers are more
straight forward in this NG.

Cheers!

Glad to hear that you don't intend to leave us completely Ed, me I've got
all three systems running here, WinME, XP Home and Vista Home Premium, all
different machines of course [)] and watch several of the ng's and forums
but this ng is classed as home because it is the ng where I met so many
friends. []

Thank you Joanie. True words about getting to know people while exchanging
problem situations, yet maintaining a good sense of humor. Best of luck to
you in all your endeavors.

I didn't mention all the names of good people who helped me through the
years, but special thanks also to good old Noel (Mike, if you read this,
please pass this on to him) to George Gee and so many others.

'Til I visit again, bye for now.

[Heirloom]

Congrats Ed! I haven't had the cojones to go with Vista, I'm sticking with
XP SP3 for as long as possible. SWMBO is running Vista Home Premie on her
laptop.....I don't like it......too much eye candy for me. I'm sure it will
be fine once you get used to it doing everything for you, lol. Oh, and on
the NG's....good luck. My experience with the XP NG's was less than
pleasant, so, I came back here with my old friends (heavy on the 'old',
<g>). Besides, with the advent of Google and other things, it is simply too
easy to find answers on one's own. But, if one gets in a real bind, one can
always call on the world's best gurus in this NG.
Mike comes immediately to mind, but, certainly not the only one.

The real appeal to this NG is the way everyones gets along with one another,
and not.....just like a real family. I saw the post on the 'chili recipe'
and thought that I might be able to answer a question, but, nay, it was just
a joke. However, if anyone would like a good recipe for some newkyoolar
chile, I could fix them up. With properly secured bedding of sufficient
strength, it can help keep you warm in the winter.

You had better stop in frequently, Ed! You are one of the originals, a
charter member, you carry battle scars and secrets.

Heirloom, old and looking out for Ike

[Ed Meza]

Hi good ole Heirloom,
I was aware that your wife was running Vista on her laptop. I agree with
you, it's too much eye candy at the beginning, but you can customize it as
you please. There are a couple of obnoxious things, like little windows that
come up to ask you to continue, yet with practice I'll get rid of that
feature. I just visited the Vista NG once and found an answer right away --
maybe I just got lucky.

Yeah, this NG is much friendlier and one is never left out in left field.
Write to Mart about the chili recipe, he also has an original.
As far as Ike, I would not bother looking out for him -- unless *Tina* shows
up!

Thanks for the kind words and cheers from Seattle!

> Write to Mart about the chilli recipe, he also has an original.

Not me, Ed. - I was referring to Heirloom, as our resident chilli expert. He
has described some pretty colourful after-effects of his culinary delights
over the years. HL's your man!

Now, about that 'newkyoolar' stuff - even spelt differently in Texas. And,
as Heirloom IS the expert, I will just reset my uk speilchucker to accept
chili as well as chilli

[Mike M]

Ed,

As you say, Vista's appearance can be tamed as necessary by switching to
Classic mode just as can XP. As for the UAC (User Access Control) popping
up I don't really find this as troublesome as others. It's most obvious
and perhaps annoying during the initial stages when one is still
installing applications and the like but I don't find it particularly
intrusive thereafter. Whilst it can readily be disabled I prefer to leave
it on as it is a great safety mechanism. What one shouldn't do is simply
click yes every time without thinking about or better knowing why it is
popping up, well not once you've populated your system and had it running
some time.

If you haven't already, and it is still relatively early days, I'm fairly
confident you'll come to appreciate Vista and realise how feature rich it
is when compared to its somewhat elderly relative Win Me.

Hi Ed, I don't think I'd want to turn of UAC you'll find it's not that
irritating it does provide that extra level of security and in these days
having good security is not a bad thing.
What version do you have ?

You are so right Mart -- I'll have to talk to HL. Perhaps he'll share that
recipe.
Have a great week!

[Ed Meza]

Howdy Mike,

The more I use the machine, the more I would have to agree with you. The
UAC is a good safety feature at the initial stagtes -- but now it doesn't
bother me as much.

Wow, big difference when comparing Vista to the good old Win Me (although I
was used to the old box -- I guess I dind't expect all the great features the
new one has, i.e., ease in customization, picture/video/sound great quality
-- and speed!) To think that I was on dial-up about 3+ years ago it makes e
crinch.

I have a question for you, how do you safely turn the Windows Password off.
I have a couple of links -- but like I promise, I would rather get back to
this site and ask the real experts.

Also, Norton came with a 60-day trial and I'm using it. No problem
whatsoever. I know that Norton was not good for Win Me. Any recommendations
for Vista? I was happy with Avast Home Edition in the old box.

Well, off to the Ocean for a 5-day vacation. So I'll check things out when
I get back.

Thank you and have a great week!

Ed
