Hi, Pam ! 1. I went through the instructions as carefully as I could (viewing hidden files, etc.) and saw no security tab where I should have. I just tried to go there again ( C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Data\ ), but I can't even find "Office" anymore ! At least not under "All Users." It was only under "Owner." ??? Maybe that's because of the registry changes you suggested. Anyway... 2. No other administrators on the computer. Just me. And I only created a (temporary) second Administrator account to try your suggestion above. 3. Hmmmm... I don't actually use any of MS Office software on this computer. Soon after I bought it (a low-end HP desktop) I uninstalled the stuff I wasn't going to use. A few years later I bought an "Outlook 2003" disc simply for using that program (mainly for email). It installed w/o incident on at least 2 previous occasions. Only this time has it been giving me trouble. "sigh> I have a feeling I'm going to have to have a "Computer Guy" come over and actually look at the thing to get this straightened out. Unless you can think of something else. In any event, I appreciate all your help !! Scott

That reminds me of what my FIL did. He was very sick from cancer and knew he wasn't going to last too much longer. He sent a e-mail to my husband that was set up to be sent at a later date, after his death, by about 7 months. He asked that we keep in touch with his wife, stepmother. My husbands mother died when he was about 21 and he remarried 5 years later to this women, she had two grown children also. The stepmother was really hard to get along with. Her son put up with her, and was barely on speaking terms with her daughter. Treated my husband very poorly for years, but we tolerated her because Dad loved her. I think she always meant well somewhere deep down inside, but was still rude, arrogant, put downs, was hard to take, but we live 800 miles away so not too much contact...We kept in touch for a few years after dads e-mail but she was still worse than ever and she died 5 years later, the last year we hardly spoke at all....still feel guilty we didn't keep in contact so much. I really think she didn't understand what she did to people, she was a miserable soul, bless her.

Scott/Pawprint - I strongly suggest you measure the height of fridge that your space is able to accommodate. We have an issue with our kitchen that was put in in 2000 - it is a small bungalow and is essentially a tear down. Due to our ages and the teardown aspect it would be ridiculous to redo the kitchen - we are in our late 60s. The kitchen person installed long cupboards. Our first fridge died at 9 years after a major repair - it was a GE Profile. We had 2 choices for bottom mounts when the GE died in Oct. 2010 - a Whirlpool or a Kitchenaid - same manufacturer of course - but since we do not eat deli it was pointless to go with the extra $400 Kitchenaid that had a deli drawer. At the time, there were many top mount freezer fridges available - but now there are not nearly as many. Many manufacturers do not make them and if they do they are at 70 inches high. We are limited to 66 5/8. The cupboards can't be cut. Maytag makes a top mount - not Energy Star - that would just fit. As does Frigidaire Gallery (and I mean "just") - we need stainless steel - one of the Frigidaire Gallery models has the Energy Star rating. Maytag is not great and Frigidaire is no longer the fridge it once was. I am concerned because of the current trend to make top mount freezers taller or to discontinue them altogether. GE was supposed to be making a HandiHeight model that would fit our space - but instead manufacturers decided to make cupboards shorter in order I guess to make people redo their kitchens. I even saw a badly dented shorter unit in a store that had a sign that read to the effect of buy me so that you do not have to redo your kitchen. We live in Ontario, Canada. Electricity costs are through the roof. We definitely need an Energy Star model. I know when we had major issues with the current Whirlpool at age 1.5 - 3 repair visits - it was possible to buy an LG unit that would have fit the space but not now - height is 70 inches. While our current fridge is still working I am very concerned about when it will die which could be tomorrow or next year and nothing will be available. The fridge is just the beginning our our nightmare. I haven't done a search as yet, but back when our GE fridge was fixed and ThatHomeSite was not owned by Houzz, there was a huge thread made by people who had the exact same problem as we have with the kitchen cupboards. Some people finally gave up and just put in a compact fridge (a good one - and they cost a lot). Perhaps I should be happy that the tile guy put the backsplash tile behind the refrigerator. Living in Canada only makes things worse since we do not have the variety available to us as do those who live in the U.S. Anyway, something to consider.

Mixed bag here. The tomatoes with buckets on the WOWs did great -even seemed to grow during this mess. Memo to file. The closed up WOWs not as great - looking a bit smashed. May need more buckets next tiem. Peppers in the cheapo plastic cloches look fine. I hope that they don't end up stunted. Unprotected stuff looks a bit battered, but fine. Calif poppies, lupines, lettuce,pansies, chard, rosmary, thyme, clematis,hosta. The iris look like nothing happened. Covering the big grape vine was probably a mistake. We never got down to critical temps. Meanwhle, the cover blowing around and the weight of the heavy snow broke off many shoots and left the whole vine looking bad. Probably lost over half of the crop, but looks like I will still get grapes. Also, I planted pre-sprouted Fortex pole bean seeds 5/13 which began to emerge in the usual 6 days on Thursday 5/19. To protect them, I covered the rows with about 2" of fine mulch. Looks to have worked. Also planted the rest of my pre-sprouted pole bean seeds Wed 5/18 figuring that they would not emerge until after the storm. These all may fail but the cost of re-seeding beans is small.
