OK, where are my myLot tech people friends, I need help

He came, he saw, he answered and went away. Hopefully, he will return...to see if anybody learned something ...

@akalinus .. Sleep Jo Ann..hopefully DE comes to clarify your doubts tomorrow..

@vandana7 I learned that I am confused and don't understand half of this stuff. When I tried WayBack machine, I got some weird answers and found my real name under my pen name but no articles. I think it is time to turn in for the night.

I'm trying to help now. Thank you.

@DaddyEvil If you send MSN another hate letter add my name to the signature page LOL.

@AbbyGreenhill I definitely will, Abby! LOL!

I think, but could be mistaken, that she tried to install Adobe Flash on top of an already existing Adobe Flash, so she will need to un-install the Flash player and then install a fresh copy. The only change my pc made was to the MSN Outlook email, so should have no effect on her pc itself. Backing her pc up should leave it as it was already.

I agree--reinstall Chrome and see if that helps

I think that is what she tried, Top. I believe she will need to un-install Adobe Flash Player and then re-install it to fix this problem.

@divalounger if I do that will all my settings still be there?

I searched and it's very confusing!

I did a search and gave her a link that should fix her problem. We shall see. Is your phone's email fixed, Alfredo? If not, tell me what it is doing and I will help you. Cell phones are a specialty for me.

@DaddyEvil Cell phones, devilspawn, the lot of'em.

I'm giving up trying this on my own, not confident enough to start messing around. I thought it might be an 'easy' fix but it sounds too complicated for me.

@AbbyGreenhill ....Glad it worked out.

@celticeagle I can't play my games, but maybe that's a good thing.

No virus this happened a while ago and I fixed it just can't remember how at this point. I can download and del ...no problem! There

I stomped on it already lol...I will do as suggested and uninstall and redo.

Hello, Blue! I hope you are doing well today? I just wanted to tell you I LOVE the practical advice you gave Abby! I haven't heard such wisdom in a long time!

I am not going to worry about it right now. It's given me a headache and I need to ignore the issue for a while LOL

That sounds good, - but - will that wipe out all my settings and tabs and other things I've changed in Chrome? I don't want to make more work/confusion for myself.

@topffer I will read this, thanks.

@Jessicalynnt it is just us ... no geeky people to ask

Do you have any to add

@AbbyGreenhill not that doesnt involve either paying someone or bribing a geeky friend with steaks

That is what I told them in the email I sent them... Oh, I also gave them "feedback" on the new Outlook setup! I am fairly sure they will delete what I told them in my "feedback"! LOL!

@DaddyEvil Never had to use it, thankfully. Scrotus Notes, however, featured highly for a few years once...

@AbbyGreenhill Yes, hindsight is 20/20.

I can do some things, enough to get me by but when something that I've used for a long time just disappears it is too much for me.

@AbbyGreenhill Recently lost Java which means i now cant use snipping tool,driving me crazy as i need to snip images almost every 3rd day

I like a computer but thanks anyway

@saulgoodman fingers don't type well on cell phone

@AbbyGreenhill My son convinced me this was the way to go. My puter was playing up. Adobe was the issue also. He showed me what his phone could do. I don't think I've looked back since. Haven't even had to ask for his tech help again. I liked my computer too but didn't really ever understand it.

No, that won't help. It will only make her re-install it again.

I can now view video - not sure what I did now I just need to fix the play games part.

I'm still confused, but thanks anyway LOL

Well I use Chrome and when it comes to messing with the 'inards' of it i try to leave it alone. right now I can watch video for some reason so I'm not going to worry about the game. There is a computer shop in town and I'll take it there in a few weeks.

@Ceerios The thing is, I had no problems at all until I did a system restore. Everything has worked fine for years.

@AbbyGreenhill - Sounds like things that go on with my computer here. I still use Windows XP on this computer, and it is set up to use the 8-bit file locator and so forth. Today, the operating systems are all shifting to 16-bit formatting and the automatic updates and the like are all set up to use that. Lots of programs cannot work with the 16-bit stuff and when they "update" (actually replace) what you have already, it will not function for you. Perhaps when you restored something like that happened to you. Things like those may be the least of our troubles now that President Obama is giving up lots of Internet control to the United Nations types in but several more days. -Gus-
