Update server problems--

16 years ago

Hi Tamara,

Over on the Winter Sowing Forum we need to put in an email in order to make a post. This email is visibile. I tried adjusting the setting in my account so it won't show my email but I got an error message.

Also, again at the WS forum, when you click on the link for 'Other Forums', you get an access forbidden message.

Hope you get the kinks worked out soon...

server problem?? taking forever to login
Q

When I have to Log in (cuz save on this computer doesn't work ^$&@*(^%), It sounds like your browser is set to delete cookies each time it closes...which is a simple fix if that is what is wrong. If you are still having problems with it taking forever to connect, you might try posting over at Computer Help to see if others are having a similar problem. This forum gets little traffic compared to CH. Do you know if your browser is set to empty cache each time it closes. I 'think' that could maybe affect log-in time somewhat. Sue

windows XP service pack 3
Q
Comments (15)
I have dial-up service and because of this, SP3 came into my computer during several sessions of being on-line. My copy of SP3 greatly fouled my computer. The installer stopped when near the end of the install and left a MESS. I tried to uninstall, but that did not work. I tried to use the 'file repair' option on my original Windows XP disc. It refused to do this - said that I was trying to load files from an older version to a newer one. LOL. Parts of my system barely worked. Much of it was trashed. A session with a MicroSoft IT person did not work (although he was very accomodating). I recovered by going to my favorite computer service & store and purchased an OEM disc of XP with SP3. This installed ok. (This fix cost me the purchase price of XP, but that was better than loosing all my old email files containing genealogical data.) After my computer was up and running with XP with SP3, I found that all the installed aoftware was no longer registered. All my applications had to be re-installed. I had to reinstall ThunderBird and all of its settings were lost. These had to be re-entered to get it working again. All the modem/internet connection settings had been lost. These had to be set up again. I was not happy, in fact, I was very preturbed before it was all over. Fortunatley, I did get back all my emails because I had a backup copy on an enternal hard drive. I have no idea what went wrong - I suppose the interrupted downloaded file had errors, or its installer was bad. Supposedly, this download was supposed to support interruptions.

Windows update problems

You could try this then, if your unwilling to reset windows 10, resetting windows 10 gives you the option to keep your files and it will reinstall windows, some applications will have to be re-downloaded / reinstalled. This is what I would do next: Try running the following from a Elevated Command Prompt, one at a time: Once the command prompt is open you can copy 1 line at a time and paste it into the black command prompt window, then hit enter on the keyboard. Do that for each line (1 , 2, & 3) Don't copy the 1 2 0r 3, just the command... 1 Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup 2 Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth 3 SFC /scannow How to open an elevated command prompt in windows 10 https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2790-open-elevated-command-prompt-windows-10-a.html Also If you right click the start menu, I think you will see cmd (admin) in the list

I have been having the same problem this morning on the Perennials forum. It is requesting my name and email address in order to post. I actually created a new fictitious account and found I could post, but when I returned to see if it was fixed, it wouldn't allow me to even use that fictitious account information in order to post. I tried just typing in any old name and email, but it wouldn't allow me to post either. I visited the New England Forum and tried to post there and there is no request for email address there.

Hope you can get this fixed soon...

I do not like this at all. As it is, you can type a completely fake email address and be allowed to post, so what's the point?

If GW is going to require us to post real email addresses for anyone to gather every time we post a message/response, they will find a lot of people are outta here due to privacy and spam concerns.

Yes, I see they have updates in red under the What's New on Garden Web

The latest...Jan 10: After making some hardware updates last night, we have experienced a few pesky bugs that we are working to exterminate.

From what I'm seeing the THS section is fine. When you get to the GW section things are screwy.

I can get to every forum from the forum list page, then say i click on rose forum, it brings me to the main rose forum entry. From here I click on the 1st entry.. roses, then click on rose ID. Rose ID does not work when selecting it from the forum jump. I can get to all of the rose forums via that main rose page and once at the name the rose, if I click on a post that attaches a picture, I get the user name / password box.
