Does this sound like your trouble? http://www.techsupportforum.com/security-center/virus-trojan-spyware-help/hijackthis-log-help-inactive/202640-multiple-instances-ie-moved-internet-explorer.html

Restore point should be generated when programs change. Notice I said 'should' not will. Try opening up the controls for restore and see when the last restore point is. If it's only a day or two ago, roll it back. Make sure to copy/back up any valuable data that is newer than the restore point first.

NO! Don't panic. Not a good idea to just start deleting things.

Installing firefox is a good start. But failing that you still have a problem. What the problem is isn't to clear without a bit more information. When you opened IE you got 5 versions of it. Ok, fine Lets ask a couple other questions. What version of IE are you using? Is it opening up to the same page 5 times or is it 5 different pages? Is it always the same 5 pages? What happens if you close the other 4 versions? How many tool bar "helpers" do you have installed? Did you shut it off and then turn it on and if so did it happen again? Have you run a virus scan? A malware scan such as 'MalwareBytes'? Have you tried a rolling it back to a saved 'restore point'? Directions for how to use a restore point are here: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/getstarted/ballew_03may19.mspx

Looks like we might get a shower later tonight. The good news is that it looks like it will blow over quickly. So it sounds like a go to me. Yummmmm Wings.....

That can't be good.

I live on the west side and I go there all the time. Well except this time. Rain and the car is giving me trouble so I thought I'd take this one off. Maybe a good thing I did.

It just wont' be the same. I has a sad.

It's like the end of an era. So how will we know your back to visit if we can't hear the Muzzy howl a mile or so in advance?

lol

Clearly Amelia Robinson has the worlds pulse at her fingertips. A discerning writer such as this deserves every bit as much respect as those she writes about. I was pleased to see that she did do some journalist work by referring to sports illustrated as a source. An admitted former Browns fan who feels that being a fan can be cruel as sports of any kind are ruthless if you care about them. She does seem to know her way around the sports world. I have no idea what or who she writes about now but I think it only fair to say I for one really would like to see her riding a 1000cc Unicorn around town. Being an admitted media mongering attention wanna be by limiting herself to writing articles about such important topics as [sic] "arrested for dog fighting, are one of the Williams sisters, or are dating Jessica Simpson, I could not care less about most athletes". She does seem to be ready to move up in the world of journalism. I really do think that her riding a 1000cc Unicorn around town might get her a spot on either "Fernwood 2-Night" or "America 2-Night". Ah the big time at last TV! But friends, there is hope. She does say that "it would be cool to have something to cheer about". Pray tell, what does she do now? -This parody brought to you by Strictly Street

Are you surprised? Ever since the election you knew this and worse was coming. Complain bitterly and often at your Representative. It might help, might not but you have to try.

Hmm.. A tempting topic for the flame war fairy. A semi-informed opinion is what I'm trying for here. Starting at the beginning. Hardware: The laptop is 4 years old - so the hardware is a little out of date. Nice things to have that the newer ones do is things like larger displays, Dual core CPU's, bigger hard drives and more RAM. RAM and the hard drive you could add to the existing laptop, CPU and display, not so much. So from a performance perspective , new would be nice. But do you NEED all that? No idea, but that is the hardware end of it anyway. Software: PC: Windows XP home is useless, avoid it. Windows XP Pro is still well supported in the educational community. Vista, not so much, it's out there but not in heavy use. Windows 7, the new operating system isn't released yet to the general public. The feeling I get from system administrators is that they will not deploy this until at least the first service pack is out. MAC: All versions of the MAC software are supported to some extent. By this I mean you may have to add something to connect to or from a windows network. Software to do this is readily available. However knowing what you need and how to install it might make you wish to have your own MAC guru to help. If you are going to school for any graphics art courses, MAC wins hands down. Schools: They are no doubt running UNIX for their main servers. UNIX is the KING for servers but it is NOT user friendly at all, not even a little bit. Both MAC and Windows can hook up to UNIX easily. Other facts: Windows is the de-facto standard of the business world at this time. Student study groups/networks most likely run windows or MACs but not both (depending on the subject matter). MACS cost twice as much as PC's up front. PCs are cheap to get into but their long term cost can be higher than you thought. (depending on what software you buy). Personal opinion: If I didn't know how to do it I would get someone who did know how to set it up for me. I am a cheap bastard so I would hot-rod the existing laptop with more RAM and a newer faster hard drive (if needed) I would also flash the BIOS for more speed and features (NOT for the faint of heart, you do it wrong your toast) Wipe the drive, destroy and then rebuild the partitions and start with a fresh install of Windows XP PRO. Add as few applications as possible. Get a USB backpack drive to load all my data on to keep it secure. Install anti-virus, Malware and back-up applications. Update these applications frequently. Total cost ~ about $300-$400 New laptop ~ $1500 -$3000 I would avoid any "Custom" set ups such as Linux simply because you don't know how to use them and getting help recovering a file needed in the next 15 minutes for your term paper might be a hassle. Anyway, that's my two cents worth

The daily weather forecast for the area is

Nice vids. Looks real scenic.

Chase Polaris has a great cafeteria, decent prices and good food. But they close early in the day.

Congrats!

Your right, no facts to go on. Yet you still missed my point which is if she pulled out in front of him it is her fault. Thats it. There are two parts to the law, not just the "Everybody knows you have to stop at the sign" Stopping at the sign isn't all there is to it. You have to wait for the intersection to be clear before procceding. Of course there are any number of reasons why she didn't see him. Some are legally defensible, some aren't. Odd that you assume it was the riders fault. That he was doing something wrong to deserve to die. A lot of riders do stupid things and are killed, fact. A lot of cars do stupid things and kill riders, fact. Somebody died, somebody is getting a ticket. Just for the record, always on headlight is not required on all motorcycles. Older bikes manufactured before the law are exempt. Not that it is a good idea to ride with out it being on. just sayin'

Please, if a meteor hit the car in the ass and pushed into the road... Or, if the unladen airspeed of a swallow was that of an African swallow while grasping a coconut by its husk. But, lets put that aside for the technically, legally part shall we? Ohio State Revised Code 4511.43 Right-of-way rule at through highways, stop signs, yield signs. (A) Except when directed to proceed by a law enforcement officer, every driver of a vehicle or trackless trolley approaching a stop sign shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or, if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering it. After having stopped, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another roadway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time the driver is moving across or within the intersection or junction of roadways. (B) The driver of a vehicle or trackless trolley approaching a yield sign shall slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions and, if required for safety to stop, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or, if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering it. After slowing or stopping, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle or trackless trolley in the intersection or approaching on another roadway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time the driver is moving across or within the intersection or junction of roadways. Whenever a driver is involved in a collision with a vehicle or trackless trolley in the intersection or junction of roadways, after driving past a yield sign without stopping, the collision shall be prima-facie evidence of the driver’s failure to yield the right-of-way. © Except as otherwise provided in this division, whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor. If, within one year of the offense, the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to one predicate motor vehicle or traffic offense, whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree. If, within one year of the offense, the offender previously has been convicted of two or more predicate motor vehicle or traffic offenses, whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree. Effective Date: 01-01-2004 Cite: http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511.43 Um, yep, thats what I thought it said. Accident happened at 5:40 p.m, not dark yet. Speed was not mentioned, alcohol was not mentioned. Cell phone and/or texting was not mentioned. We can only guess at the reality. I'll guess the 60 yr old man was not going 200mph on a Busa with a burnt out headlight, just a guess. A traffic ticket is in order for this one. Isn't that what happens when it's car vs car? Why should it be different for Bike vs car? And there is that part about somebody died. How many times have people pulled out in front of you while you were doing everything right?

http://www.katu.com/news/59789107.html A quote from the article: Following distance might have been a factor, ya think? I believe the staggered formation is much better, even so extra room is nice.

Nothing against the guy either. The motor vehicle code clearly states when at a stop sign you wait till the road is clear before proceeding. Clearly, she did not do this. So, QED, legally, technically, she is at fault. Just sayin'
