AskWoody LoungerWhat you can do is go to Message Rules and set up rules for certain words in the SUBJECT line. For example, if you keep getting messages that say Health Insurance in the subject line, and you don’t get any legitimate mails with that in the subject line, you can set up a rule that sends anything with those 2 words in the subject line straight to the “deleted messages” basket. It never gets to the inbox. See if you can tell if certain product or service names keep showing up. If these are ones you would not normally expect to get in email, then add them to the original message rule. Check the “deleted” box at least once a day just to make sure you didn’t miss anything. In a few weeks you may find you have filtered out about half of what comes in.

I too am having major problems with junk for (WLM) and I try the subject line also. I find they change the wording on that also. Is there something else we can try. I got so tired of weeding thru the junk to find the legit email that I now use the filter rules to filter my good mail into a different folder, that seems to work better. But I still have to weed thru the junk just to make sure there is no legit mail. Before they went to WLM it was hotmail and my account was hacked they stole my contacts list so I get a lot of junk addressed from my daughter now. Sad we have to go thru this.
Thanks Kelliann1 for your suggestions.

AskWoody LoungerAmazon.com sometimes has Canon Ink cheap. But yes Walmart has Canon ink cheaper if they have it. I found some at Costco PG40 &41, 2 black 1 colored for $49.99 there was a small quantity of Canon Ink.
I think it is the model and brand of Printer that determines the amount of Ink you go through. I have the Canon Pixma 190 and it uses quite alot unfortunately.Thank You for responding. I’m not sure what I am going to do, stop printing I guess.

AskWoody LoungerOctober 3, 2012 at 2:07 pm in reply to: which is better cisco linksys WRT54g v8 or BEFW1154 #1351424I would not depend on used routers. A refurbished router or a new router is fairly inexpensive and comes with a warranty. You should look for a Wireless “N” router. There are many from which to choose in a wide variety of prices.

AskWoody LoungerAsk the seller what the current admin password is in case they changed it which is a good thing to do. You will also want set up your own Wireless SSID and wireless security, preferably wpa-ps2. See the manuals Retired Geek gave the links for.
Jerry
I hope that manual describes what an SSID and wpa-ps2 is.:rolleyes: Thanks for the info Jerry………….glenda

AskWoody LoungerGlendad,
It is in fact a very good 100 megabit router. I just retired mine to move up to a gigabit router and almost immediately reinstalled it at my brother’s house when his netgear router’s wireless transmitter died. I still have one (using a modified DD-WRT installation) that I use on my motorhome as a router/repeater. For $5.00 you can’t go wrong if it is in working condition IMHO. :cheers:
Thank you for your answer Retired Geek. I appreciate it very much.
I have dell n1050 cpm m 2.4, 4.0GB running win 7 home pre, 64bit.
I am using AT&T dsl. I want to go wireless and am wondering if this will do the trick, or would this be a waste of my time? I live in a mobilehome and want to go from livingroom to familyroom, router would be in familyroom but over by the phone line.
I don’t know anything about routers so again thanks for responding in the positive.:rolleyes:
Haven’t talked to the people yet so don’t know if it works, even so for $5 if it doesn’t oh well!!!
I don’t imagine there is any software, so would I be able to go to cisco and download what would be needed?thanks………glenda

AskWoody LoungerIt was preinstalled on the computer, so no disk.
I think I messed it up when I tried to uninstall. I will check.
thanks for your help…………………….glenda

AskWoody LoungerYou will need to test your restore disk and imaging application before your “hard drive goes haywire”. Not after.
There is a very good and obvious reason for doing this, save yourself some pain and get it done while your computer is in good working order.
Furthermore, if you change or otherwise modify your partitions you will need to reimage.Clint do you use dvd for imaging or have it backup to your hard drive? I also need to do this. I don’t have installation disks either. Can you explain the win 7 iso file?
