On our three machines (2 XP & 1 WIN8) I run whatever the current version of 
Norton is (because it's "free" from our ISP, Comcast).  In the last two 
days, Iit has claimed to have blocked two software updates, one for Google 
Chrome and one for Adobe Reader 11.?.  In between, it passed a FireFox update.  
I don't actually use either program (but keep them as backups mainly for 
checking if I have a problem with FireFox or Acrobat X) so not having the 
update isn't a major issue.  But has anyone else encountered this?  There are two 
possibilities, one that Norton is screwed up and two that someone is 
actually either hacking legitimate updates or spoofing them.  And it would be 
prudent to find out which.

Hi Dave,

Here is a copy of one of the three letters I sent you yesterday afternoon -



I do not know how this happened, but I already own a BU 1925 P and 1929 P
Lincoln cent! In fact, I bought them from you years ago!

What I was refering to when I said "before 1930" were two Buffalo Nickels to
go along with the T1 and T2 1913 nickels.

I do not remember if I gave you the list of coins by phone or e-mail. I
appologize for the confusion.

I am still working on the list of Lincoln cents that you asked me for. Sorry
it has taken me so long to get it done. Ever since the heart attack my
energy is a long ways from what it was! The cardiologist tells me that is
perfectly when the heart muscle has been damaged. Well, it may be normal but
I am not used to falling asleep if I sit down for ten minutes! Makes it
might tough to read this physics text I have been struggling with for six
weeks! I wake up and have to search for where I last recall reading
something. Very annoying!

I am trying to put together the following for the grandsons:

Two Buffalo Nickels in the twenties.
1 BU Liberty Nickel.
1 Barber Dime BU - unless a lot of money, then AU.
1 Mercury Dime BU in the teens.
2 Mercury Dimes BU in the twenties.
2 Mercury Dimes BU in the thirties.
1 Barber Quarter BU, unless expensive, then AU.
2 Standing Liberty Quarters XF/AU. Not
2 Washington Quarters BU: 1932 P and 1933 or 1934.
1 Barber Half, XF+.
1 Walking Liberty Half in the teens, XF+.
1 Walking Liberty Half in the twenties, XF+
1 Walking Liberty Half in the thirties, AU+.

Work on these coins, there is no rush Dave. Christmas is still thirty-six
days away! (LOL!) If I go broke buying the coins, the kids can wait until
their birthdays! Grandpa may not be as young and healthy as those four
grandsons, but grandpa is smarter, been there - tried that and assuredly
more devious than they realize! It is called survival!

HELP!

I guess this old fart is having a brain freeze but I can not get my HP Envy 
M7-j020DX laptop to boot from a CD.

I have searched the BIOS setup and found nothing that works;  the only thing 
I found on the internet was that I have to disable 'Safe Boot' but the BIOS 
won't let me disable it.

HP's web site is useless!

This problem started when I tried to reset my Windows password(s) with some 
software that I purchased;  the software  creates a reset CD to do the 
recovery and hence the problem!

Additionally,  I dual boot Win 7 & 8.1......

TIA

Gene,  W?QFC

Gene,
There should be a boot order in the BIOS setup somewhere to boot from C or the CD.

   I have no use for HP computers, but most bioses allow you to press a 
key *before* boot up that gives you a choice of bootable devices that 
will appear on your screen, you scroll up or down and press enter, try: 
  (other than: go to bios)

escape
delete
F12,
F2,
F1.

   Usually on one end or the other of the keyboard, as it boots up on 
the bios screen look for instructions at or near the bottom.

My HP M7 allows me to enter the bios AND change the boot priorities!

Afterthought:  Windows 8?  NOT me!  I did an FDISK, wiped the hard drive
clean and reformatted with Win 7!  Yep, had to reinstall a lot of apps but
Win 8.1 was really designed for a touch screen computer.

Thanks for the response.  There are different versions of the M7 -  I bought 
mine just one year ago.  It is a ENVY M7-J020DX ....

I LOVED Dr. DX on the Commodore. Sorry I don't have an answer for your boot issue.

My HP M7 allows me to enter the bios AND change the boot priorities! 

Afterthought: Windows 8? NOT me! I did an FDISK, wiped the hard drive 
clean and reformatted with Win 7! Yep, had to reinstall a lot of apps but 
Win 8.1 was really designed for a touch screen computer.

Dale:

I found that site before and tried what it said but it did not work!
No matter what I try I can not get this machine to boot from a CD or USB 
stick.
I feign being a old fart but I have been around the block MORE than once but 
this one has got me stumped....The really sad part is that HP wants $$ to 
even talk to me about a problem with one of their products.

If I set the BIOS for Legacy mode it will not load Windows but the F9 boot 
option screen does show up but it will not boot from the CD disk.  If I set 
the Bios for UEFI mode It will load Windows but not give the option for 
booting from the CD.

Maybe I should take up golf......
