Hi Gma:
What a surprise I see the group again in my PC.
I try so many times to change to freelist and was always
unsuccessful.
Thank God all my friends are still here so I always got an
answer to my =
problems.

Have a question for you.
I had a virus many years ago at the time it showed a sign
that will say =
"nothing to do"=20
I do not have the virus anymore but...once in a while when I
am working =
on my folders the sign pops up makes three copies of
whatever I am =
trying to save.
I am SURE you have an answer.
Thanks for bringing there.
Hugs Evelyn

Hi Evelyn,
    Welcome home, Sweets.  It's really great to see you
again.       :O)

    While rummaging through the member list in search of 
permanent 
vacationers, I came across your addy and became very
puzzled.  I've missed 
you since my return and wondered why you were no longer an
active member of 
the group.  Now, I find that your addy has been sitting on
Vacation mode for 
who knows how long and thought I'd give you a nudge.  I'm so
glad I did, now 
that I see you were in no-woman's land all this time.  Seems
you somehow 
managed to get yourself on the list, but in a mode that
wouldn't allow 
messages to come to you or allow you to post.

    As for your old virus that isn't there but still reminds
you of its 
presence, I don't have an answer right off the top of my
head.  However, I 
will look to see if your symptoms have been documented
anywhere.  Truth is, 
if you're still experiencing these symptoms, the virus is
still there in 
some form.  It may no longer be active in the strictest
sense (able to 
replicate and/or infect other files or machines), but it's
still able to 
exert some influence over your machine.  Let me see what I
can find out for 
ya.

Peace,
GMan

Hi Gman:
Thanks a lot my dearest.
I have miss you. It was here that we ladies became friends
many years =
ago and we are still friends. 

I try many times to go to the list and connect but was never
successful.
It is amazing the synchronicity of the universe.
I was talking about you to my husband.
I told him. "I wish I can tell Gman my problem, I am
sure he knows".=20
The problem does not happen often only when I am working
with the files.
The next day I got mail from the group.
I can imagine why this has linger for so long. It must be
inside the =
tubes I use with the different programs.
If you ever come up with an answer I will be so grateful.


Again Thanks for putting back in the list. It was the first
list I ever =
join.=20
.
A big hug to you my dearest.
Evelyn

I simply felt you needed our help with something and needed
the excuse of 
cleaning out the invalid accounts as a smokescreen.  I'll
accept your hug 
and raise you a smooch, right in the kisser (don't tell the
hubby). 
;O}

    In my research on your problem so far, I've come up
empty using the 
exact quote you gave, "nothing to do".  Is there
any chance it was spelled 
differently in that sign?  Perhaps something along the lines
of "nuthin 2 
do" or "nothing too do" or some other
misspelled variation?

Along those lines I have several times seen an error message
when I was 
shutting down that read " should not see " or
"shouldn't see me"  something 
like that for a split second.  It didn't seem to be shutting
down abnormally 
though.  Anyone know what that was about?

Hi Lois,
    I'd never heard of anything like that, at least until
your post prompted 
me to google it.  I found numerous references to it and am
now in research 
mode.  I will get back with you as soon as possible with
whatever I 
discover.       :O)

Peace,
GMan

Lois,
    After checking with various known 'good info' sites, the
final verdict 
is that one of the engineers of the Windows Installer app
decided to show he 
really does have a sense of humor when naming a window that
we really should 
never see.  The window is part of the Installer's shut down
process and 
normally comes up, resolves and disappears so fast that it
doesn't have time 
to even be partially drawn by Windows, let alone seen by an
end user.

    The problem is, if a process that relies on the
Installer hangs, people 
actually get to see the window and its 'funny' name.  Not
knowing that it's 
just a stupid programmer joke can certainly make for a scary
moment for most 
people, as you've discovered yourself.  If it comes up too
often, I would 
have to deduce that at least one Installer support file has
become 
corrupted.  Your options then would be to ignore it if
nothing else seems to 
be exhibiting problematic behavior, try reinstalling the
Windows Installer 
after downloading the latest version from the MS site and,
if all else fails 
and other serious problems seem to follow the 'funny'
window, back up your 
stuff from the system and reformat/reinstall the works.

Peace,
GMan

Thanks for checking this out.  I actually did have to
reformat for a variety 
of reasons but if I ever do see this again, at least I'll
know what it is.
