Are we in Mercury Retrograde?
I have to remember this so when Mercury Retrograde begins in September, I will be aware that the internet and internet communications via email can be totally a disaster and impossible even when Mercury is NOT Retrograde.
I made the mistake of upgrading my browser to Windows Internet Explorer 8. Oh woe! I should have left things the way they were. Now, every time I open a new page, I get a window saying that there’s some problem and do I want to proceed? Of course I want to proceed!!!
Then, I can’t get into emails the normal way and have to use a circuitous route saying “OK” every time the “something is not right, do you want to proceed” box comes up.
Then, when I get to my mail, there is no “Squirrel Mail,” which is what I use so I click on “Horde” and there is nothing in the folder except for one after another file saying that the mail delivery system is returning the message to the sender.
Is this a virus? Funny, it did not begin until I upgraded to 8. The same thing happened when I upgraded Symantec. It wiped out various toolbars I was using and I can’t get them back.
I guess I could try calling Microsoft about my problems with Explorer. I hate to do that because there is the fear that I will end up talking with someone in a foreign country who is very polite, is obviously reading off a monitor, and can’t help me. I have also talked to a fast-talking geek at MS.
What do I do!!! People will think I have not answering their emails when I am actually trying to. I guess I will have to call someone and take my chances that they actually know what to do and also have the ability to communicate it. Scary.
