I'm back! Good gravy, I'm back. I double-checked the v. updates Ai Squared
tech. sent to me (which I had downloaded, after re-installing from the CD),
and it appears the icon on my desktop is the new program. The old one could
not be removed because of the missing dll -- but appears to have been the
ZoomText shortcut on my Desktop, which was a folder. I double-check the
dates of the files in the folder, then moved it to my Recycle Bin for now.
Headed to Add/Remove Programs to 'see' if the new install in replicated
there, or not.
At least it came up strong, and ready, and OneCare checked with me 2X to
approve it. One thing I want to do is to reduce the # of "auto updates" from
programs going out to the Internet. Its risky, IMHO, but even OneCare keeps
me in the 'red' b/c I want to be informed of the updates proposed for
download.
Any corrections...let me know. Thank you in the interim, I'm most grateful.
This is my window to the world.
