Most computers have a virus program these days (Symantec or McAlfee - sp?) that would quarantine the virus.

Recently, when I open a document in my document folder and then I go to close it, it always asks me if I want to save changes to the document when I haven't done anything but open it. How can I stop this? I don't know why it just started doing that.

If possible, would the next person to read this please go to the Official TVCH Birthday List in Community Center and c&p the list into my folder. Webtv has it's limitations and I'm guessing there are probably too many gifs for it to handle. TIA:-)

I would but they put it in as an HTML table and so I can't just (easily) copy and paste a column. And it's messy to copy the entire thing... :-(

(Actually, I could if I had the time but...)

Costacat, no problem. I was able to get into the list when I first joined & c&p'd it to my email, just in case. What a mess!! All the months, dates and names were scrambled into one ginormous paragraph, lol. I'll just keep trying to get in. Maybe I'll get lucky when the last pages flips over.

Yes it seems to be only wps files doing it, Jimmer. I can't believe I woke up in the middle of the night and now sitting at my computer. LOL

Twinkie is there a date/time on the documents that is automatically changed to the the date/time you open it? Tho since I have no idea what a wps file is this might be a stupid question. I know on Word and Excel documents if you use the insert date/time feature it will change it to the current date/time each time you open it, therefore changing the document.

OK not really sure what happened but my computer in another room is all screwed up,this is the problem:

Click on IE icon and it will start to come up but then shuts right off and I try to go on internet properties and won't even bring that up even through control panel nothing,can't get onto a microsoft for help cause the internet won't stay on.

Any thing would help at this point,i've already tried Restore but that just seems to make it worse.

Mictay: You might want to try Internet Explorer without Add-Ons. To do this (in XP anyway) click on 'Start ->All Programs ->Accessories ->System Tools ->Internet Explorer (No Add-Ons)' and see if that lets you get anywhere. If nothing else, you might be able to get to http://www.mozilla.com to download and install FireFox as an alternative browser.

Twinkie: The .wps extension is associated with files created by Microsoft Works (6.0+). If your computer has Microsoft Word (Office?) installed and opening files with .wps extension defaults to using Word, the conversion would change the file, thus prompting you to save the file. Another possibility is if you have recently changed printers, since files are commonly saved with the selected printer information in the file also.

Good luck, hope this helps.

Thanks, Dra! No new printer so it must be the first one. What can I do to stop it?
