You can turn off NOTIFICATIONS by going to setttings.

I had a network problem like yours involving a laptop (WIN 10) and my desktop (WIN 10).
The laptop couldn’t “see” the desktop for some unknown reason. I googled this fix that worked.
Go to CONTROL PANEL>ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS>SERVICES
Stop, start, and set to automatic start the following:
DNS Client
Function Discovery Provider Host
Function Discovery Resource Publicaton
Peer Networking Grouping
HomeGroup Provider
Home/group Listener
SSDP Discovery
UPnP Device Host

Save and apply all changes.

Retired Geek,

The eagle has landed! Working fine. Thanks for the help. Happy Holidays!

Preston

Not yet. I’l try that next.

i’m just trying to print to a plain sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper right now to make sure it can even work at all — no luck. Thanks for replying. Preston

If you have the 2007 versions of both, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa827350%28v=office.12%29.aspx Preston

Use Drag ‘n Drop — place the open workbooks nex to each other and drag the sheet tabs using the mouse.

Ted & Gerald,

Thanks to you both for those tips.

Preston

Jim.

Try booting into SAFE MODE and deleting from there.

Preston

Eric,

I used safe mode quite often, but not always. I did not use F-SQUARED. I had spent too much time trying to find the culprit and decided to reload from scratch. Thanks for the advice, though.

Preston

Hello all,

This turned out to be a continuing episode of random redirections and I eventually used many antispyware programs which would somtimes result in a clean scan, yet other times would find things, all different. I had to assume I had acquired a root kit of some kind, and I decided to do a full new install on a new hard drive.

Preston

Doc,

It redirects to many different sites at random. I’ll try HiJack This.

Preston

Crusty,

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried SuperAntiSpyware and while it did find some trash, I still have the problem! I’ve used Spybot S&D, AdAware, Malwarebytes, and Spyware Doctor, all with no luck. I’ve also used AVG, Kaperasky, Avast, and Combo Fix, and I still have redirections from Google searches. This culprit is well-hidden! Thanks for the tip, though.

Preston

Thanks Andy. Will try all of those suggestions.

I’m using FF- but it affects IE and CHROME also.
