SuperDave: OOOPS sorry, belay that last comment. I can get firefox just fine.Any more problems?SUperDave: The machine is running much better. Except for the funny business with Office 2000, it is running very well.
Also she has to stay away from uisng Internet Explorer as her browser.
It is time for me to end my visit and return to Arizona and my own problems. So what happens from now on is her problem.
I think she is happy. Thank you once again for all your patient help. You guys are great... Keep up the good work. JIMOk, thanks. We can do some cleanup now.
To uninstall ComboFix
- Click the Start button. Click Run. For Vista: type in Run in the Start search, and click on Run in the results pane.
- In the field, type in ComboFix /uninstall
(Note: Make sure there's a space between the word ComboFix and the forward-slash.)
- Then, press Enter, or click OK.
- This will uninstall ComboFix, delete its folders and files, hides System files and folders, and resets System Restore.
If this doesn't remove ComboFix, please let me know.
