Minions... ROFL!
SOME people are easily amused.....
What is going on?
Just out of curiosity.........is there any other sort of Moderator besides a "Global Moderator"? And if there is, what is the difference?
Are you perhaps planning these names in anticipation of that glorious day when you'll have a dozen minions to help out around here?
I am very happy and feeling a bit smug.
Hey, you try to convince a teenager that his computer needs adjusting.
The forum maroon and pink (or rust and brown or whatever-- they look different to me on different computers) turned two shades of green on Monday at 12 a.m. E.T. through 2 a.m. Tuesday.
I don't use QT all that frequently, and I don't remember precisely when it was last updated. But mine is the free version, not the paid version, with the bells & whistles. Dunno if this makes any difference.
Here's its description from www.answersthatwork.com:
"RealPlayer Classic used to be one of the most needed pieces of software on a PC. Its successor, RealOne Player, is vying for the title of the most hated piece of software. For a start, on many PCs EVNTSVC slows down boot-ups unacceptably, using up to 90% of CPU time at times. There have also been reports of EVNTSVC dropping advertising shortcuts onto the desktop during idle times. Next, if you try to disable EVNTSVC via Startup Manager or MSCONFIG, RealOne Player checks to see if it has been deleted from the Registry and re-instates it as a startup item! To be fair, there is a facility within RealOne Player to "only perform automatic services while RealOne Player is in use". As stated in our write-up for RNDAL, our recommendation is to de-install RealOne Player and either use the classic RealPlayer, or something else such as WinAmp. If you absolutely want to keep RealOne Player, we suggest you rename EVNTSVC.EXE to EVNTSVC.EXE.OLD as that is the only way to make absolutely certain that it never runs, and RealOne Player works fine without it."
Well, I found another page that caused QTTask.exe to load into the start-up routine. Like here, QT was a part of the Web page; i.e., it didn't use a link to open the QT player separately.
It's possible that the latest update of QT I downloaded is responsible for its misbehavior.
Anyway, I overcame the situation by deleting QTTask.exe altogether. It doesn't impact functionality, and eliminates the annoying modification of the registry.
It's not possible for someone to do that to your computer without you knowing about it....is it?
Gee, MB and I were checking on it at the same time--whotta surprise.
QT is set NOT to have a system tray icon. Coming to the DS page turns overrides my local config, thus necessitating the steps in my previous post. I've never had a Web page do that before, and I can go to other QT locations and it doesn't do it. It seems to be peculiar only to this site.
Has anyone else mentioned not being able to re-open the [Get More] if you open and close it while creating a message?
Or not being able to put more than 2 "new" smileys on a post?
Or that the [Get More] window disappears and only reappears after I shut down everything else and I'm looking at the last blue screen before I shut the computer down?
I know.....IE
