Peter,

Whether or not you have had a stroke is still to be proven.

However, if you wish to get proper assistance from this peer-to-peer
newsgroup, you should be more polite and organized. Before posting a
problem (or in your case, a group of problems) - try to orgainze them and
post them all at once.

Also, you could open notepad, type out your questions, correct them for
spacing and other errors as you see them and then post them, saving yourself
the grief of people making rude comments. Yes - things would take a little
more time, but you would get more and probably more accurate responses in
that way - saving yourself days of grief for hours of time.

Additionally, it is not true there is not support from Microsoft. If you
buy a retail product, you get quite a bit of support initially. Later, it
is true that further support may cost you $275 per incident, however, you
have support groups like this, Google searches, Microsoft knowledge bases
and an assortment of other similar products that are free out on the
Internet to use before you ever have to go to the paid support.
 
I am sure that everyone who is a regular helper in this newsgroup (and
others) is aware that you are having numerous problems with your
computer. It has been suggested quite a few times that you read "how to
make a good post", and to give some indication of whether you have tried
any of the suggestions posted by the helpful folks in here. You keep
saying that you have had a stroke, and whilst not completely
dis-believing you, one wonders if you can type at all, why you miss the
biggest key on the keyboard...namely the space bar?

We are not ignoring you....far from it as far as I can see, but you have
to try and help us a little. Tell us a little more about your
disability, when did it happen, are you improving, what's the prognosis,
etc., etc.
 
Can a person with brain damage read and understand your response? How can he
be more polite?

*If* he has brain damage, it is slight and obviously localized. He can ask
questions, and in asking them, he is looking for a response, so at least he
believes he can read my responses and comprehend them.

After reviewing your questions (from the past 2 years), might I suggest
this:

Type your questions here:
http://www.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q

and/or here:
http://www.google.com/

It will likely come up with a post done by you or with a similar one from
the past. I can find no record (at this time) of a question you have asked
that was not answered in the newsgroups or on some web page before you asked
it. Other people have posted this before and it seems you may have had a
stroke between June 4, 2003 and September 15, 2003. http://snipurl.com/6udj
Fair enough. I meant no offense, but you must consider the forum and the
ease at which intentions can be misread.


As far as your question, I did answer it earlier - the simple fact is that
there is support from Microsoft, but only if you bought a RETAIL copy of the
operating system. Otherwise your support comes from the people you bought
the copy from.

If your copy of Windows XP came in a nice box, it's retail. If it came with
the computer or in a cellophane wrapper with a piece of cardboard, it's
likely NOT retail.

The best (and easiest) support for all products (not just Microsoft ones) is
searching the Internet for answers using the first two methods I gave at the
beginning of this post.
 
Peter;
If you had a stroke, I apologize.

Believe it or not, there are those that come to these newsgroups, type
very similar and in reality are just trolling.

To help you get better answers to your questions, there several things
you can do.
1. Before you send a post, use the spell check option.
If you have a word processor such as Microsoft Word, the Spelling icon
in Outlook Express will work.
That alone will do a lot.
Very few people should send a post without spell checking, those that
do not are noticeable in all the newsgroups.
I rarely send a post without checking it first.

1. Search for your issue at www.google.com
Try various combinations of applicable words and phrases.

3. Have someone help with the troubleshooting and sending a message
as necessary.

There are probably many more options, but these are what I though of
in a few minutes.

Whether it is right or wrong, posts with poor spelling and grammar are
overlooked by many simply because those posts are more difficult to
read.
Therefore those posts are less likely to get an answer that will help
solve their issue.
It is in your best interests to attempt to come up with an option that
will make your posts more readable.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS............................I DO........................
LOL
Give us a phoned #, I would love to check it out. Unfortunately I can't
decipher exactly where I should ring them and check it out from your post. I
would really like to make it clear to all disbelievers [myself included] you
are what you say you are. 8-)
I have plenty of unlimited long distance international time to use for the
verification.
