Raven? AdBlock conflict with Windows?

9 years ago

The most recent upgrade (think I upgraded last week, and windows quit updating on my computer right about the same time). Have you heard/experienced anything? I had a huge conflict with my computer yesterday. I ended up without control over my keyboard or internet. Between me and the IT guy, we have it running again. He didn't say why and he's out of town today, but he took AdBlock off. Heard anything?

No not a thing. I can't imagine that would be caused by Adblock. Maybe he was just eliminating things to see if he could find the cause. Sometimes add ons can cause an issue but usually we try running in browser safe mode to see if that corrects it if so then we do the elimination of add ons to find the one that is the problem.
But no I have not heard any problems from adblock.
I have it on all of my windows machines too.

Thanks! I reinstalled it, and I don't seem to be having any issues. He didn't get rid of anything else? Or change anything else? He updated one of my three antiviral programs, but other than that? Nothing. I appreciate the anwer.

i installed QT lite and message said must uninstall quicktime.Then iTunes asked me if I wanted to install update to Quicktime. I said yes. problem remains the same after rebooting and again getting a prompt for uniblue. Although I got rid of all QT related programs at the time this problem started, perhaps I missed something and now perhaps have bits and pieces of QT. I can't tell. Don't understand relevance of using QT for the games that came with the software. I will google for a full set of Quicktime. and look for you to suggest something else. It is getting late for some folks but will wait for further instructions after install of QT

Locate and open your pictures. How to highlight or select one or more pictures. Hold down on the CTRL Key and start left clicking all the pictures you want to copy or hold down on the left click and drag your pointer to highlight. Another way is at the left top open Edit - click select all. After you have highlighted or selected the pictures you want to copy to CD, look to your left for the words - Copy to CD or Copy all items to CD At the right bottom of your screen you will get a balloon popup. Read and click at the correct spot on the popup. New location. Look to your left and click Copy these files to CD. You will get a welcome to the CD Writing Wizard. Follow directions and finish your copy of your pictures. This D:A location were you copy pictures is located here = Start - my computer - Right click - CD-RW Drive(D:) (Drive E on my PC) - left click Open. ----------------------------------------------------- I have a Windows Address Book on my computer.

I don't know how I did it but I somehow have created a folder in the bar right below the address and I can drag and drop into that folder with FF 3.x. Then I sort into meaningfully named folders at my leisure. I can drag and drop down from the address or up from anywhere on the screen. This seemed very different and awkward for about a day and a half and then it became so natural I can bookmark without thinking.

I personally know what I know, and I don't what I don't. I don't try to impress anyone with my CV or life experiences. Nor do I don't take a condescending or patronizing approach. I may know more than ten members, but there are certainly at least eleven that know more than me. I never want to become "cynical". My only objection here at the forum is a member's failure to try self-help first. Anyone who has been here for a while knows I promote that. If they have tried without positive results, or don't understand the information they have ferreted out like the cavalry my help, if I can, is on the way. Not that it means a darn anything, but I've been here since 1998. I've seen people come and people go. Some are missed and some aren't. I myself once had to take a sabbatical as I didn't like the direction the forum was going. It lasted six months. I had had my fill of the members who were trying to take over the forum, a couple of know-it-alls, the members who were thought to walk-on-water, and the rising negative exchanges between these members. So I guess if I was too often made uncomfortable while reading here I might avoid the place. DA

I has done figured it out! Don't that be good grammar? I bet, I've figured it out. AdBlock hadn't been disabled on Microsoft, and so, neither of us could get it to update. So maybe, the newly upgraded AdBlock reinstated the block, and I hadn't disbled it yet and he was removing whatever wasn't necessary. I bet. We'll never know! All fixed.

Well that is strange, did they say why or what the problem is? Here is the link to the adblock plus forum maybe you can ask there they might like to know about it too.
