You seem to have a PATTERN of posting these little extra comments right after your initial reply. You have a time period - I believe it's TEN minutes - after posting during which you can modify a post. So, no need to make another post just to say some final words. Besides, these little follow-on posts add nothing meaningful.Are you two a tag team or something? I didn't know about the ten min edit. I'll do that in future. I also made a post on a thread from the 31st May and they got back to me. Do you have an answer for that? Rgds, MM Ps - I'm not trying to up my post count. I've just not had much of a chance to get on much of late so I'm just looking and trying to help the ones that had no resolution. Sorry for trying to assist people. If you both have something to say to me then you can both pm me instead of getting your own post counts higher.I think the edit window is an hour. And we can all thank our good friend Billrich for the fact that there is a time limit at all. (mostly,but also a good number of help seekers liked to "respond" to replies by changing their original post, which was confusing, to say the least).

Sorry for trying to assist people. If you both have something to say to me then you can both pm me instead of getting your own post counts higher. You don't understand quite how the people seeking help work. First, at least some of the people you are trying to "help" have not been members here for months, even years. They will not receive any notification of your reply. At all. they will PROBABLY never know (they deleted their account for a reason, after all). The others, maybe they will receive notification, but after a year, it's highly likely that they found their solution elsewhere or have already figured it out. The only positive thing that could come out of it might be that future posters with similar issues can find a WAY to resolve their problem. However, that simply is not the case. First off, a good portion of your replies are really just interrogating for more information (sensible, because the OP often leaves out critical tidbits, but not sensible since the OP has certainly solved their issue)- asking for more info hardly helps future posters searching for help with their issues, regardless of how similar their situation may be to the original poster. Also, all you did was pretty much re-suggest advice the Original poster had already ignored (to re-check for malware via the malware experts on the virus forum) prudent, YES. but again, it's doubtful (but not impossible, I suppose) that the Original poster has not solved their problem either themselves or through other means. Secondly, you are rather frequently suggesting for people to "clean their registry" and "fix their associations" for issues that are almost wholly unrelated to either "registry issues" (of which no such thing exists) or file association problems (which are extremely easy to identify and fix). I'm not about to go into a 6th rant about "registry cleaners" (censored, do a forum search, you can probably find the previous ones I made (the one I made yesterday was pretty good I think) or how useless they are, but a summary would be this- registry cleaners fix "problems" with the registry, right? Too bad there is no such thing as a "registry problem" or a "dirty" registry.
