Salut u2btrfly,

Acrobat reader only installs for available browsers at that time. If you installed it while firefox wasn't there, well you probably will have to reinstall acrobat.

Don't know what you mean bout the proxy thing, do you use proxies because you never specified it in this thread.

Ciao

et voilà

U2btrfly could be getting proxy errors because Ghost Surf redirects internet connections to their own specified proxy servers, or so they say.

Hi there,

Et voila, I had Acrobat in my computer before Firefox. Do I have to uninstall and then reinstall from FF's sight?

UK Bob, I haven't started using Ghost Surf yet, so I haven't a clue how that got there, but it seems to have corrected itself. I never set up a proxy, so I was surprised that IE would give me that message. After all that you've said about proxies, Ghost Surf and all that, I'm going to have to be walking on thin ice with this one. Can I back up my system with Nero or something to restore in case I mess it up with Ghost Surf?

I must say again that the Optimize really worked with the registry. Maybe any kind of registry cleaner would have done the same, but to this newbie it was a life-saver in that situation with the printer.

Got a letter back from HP about the printer problem. They received my e-mail telling them that the problem was solved. In that letter Iwrote to them, however, I mentioned the fact that my "firewall" blocked their address. They most assuredly told me that they are not spyware. Hrmmmph.

Anyway, what about the Mozilla question? Any advice? I'm considering opening Thunderbird today and I was wondering should I just download the entire Mozilla Suite, or leave things like they are, with Firefox as the stand-alone browser with added Thunderbird?

Listen to me, I'm not talking so much like a newbie anymore LOL. I almost sound like I might be starting to actually learn and know things about all this computerese!

Gotta Laugh
 

:p Gotta laugh at myself, bragging about getting smarter about computer stuff, and then asking if there's anyway I could get my computer to the way it was if I messed up with the Ghost Surf!!

Wouldn't that have an uninstall feature.

Hmmmmm

I love Firefox.....That is all that I will use....Since I got my new computer, I have used it, and one day someone was fooling around on my computer and deleted it, so I had to use explorer to download it again, and the second I got explorer up, there were about 25 windows that opened up, and each one had like 5 words on it, and the more I tried to close them the more of them popped up. When I finally did get them to close, I ran a virus scan, and there were 15 viruses on there from explorer, so I NEVER EVER use explorer....mozilla firefox also has some cool stuff on it, like where you can open up to like 20 different tabs in the same window, and that way you can just go back and forth between tabs instead of having to try to find where your window went in the taskbar...I love that part. All in all, I would definately have to say that Firefox is better in my opinion. Hope this helps....I know it's kinda late!!

Oh yeah, it is really easy to download too. Go to your search box and just type in "free mozilla firefox download" and it will take you right to the page, and it just takes a minute....and then you just don't use explorer anymore.......:)

Happy Firefox Customer

Oh yes, I signed up for Firefox and love it. I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than have to go back to IE. I, so far, at least have had next to no adware to spyware on my computer. I love the security - I can choose who can set a cookie on my computer. I have my cache emptied every two days. It is just so much better.

This is one happy customer. Now I'm thinking real hard about Linux. I have the PCLinuxOS disk and I've been conversing with helios at Lobby4Linux. I don't think my computer can handle two OS's though, so I may need either a computer with no OS installed, or an external hard drive. That's another topic though, so I'll drop that one and go the the Linux part.

You can see by my sigs that I'm one happy camper. Thanks to all again!
