Blasted Popups!

Hello JJJCSHELLEY, Ouch!  Please stop yelling at me! Popup Cop and Popup Stopper work pretty good to nearly eliminate popups.  I use Popup Cop and have been happy with it. Danny

Epson Scanner Issue

Marian Boury writes: I bought a Gateway computer 1 1/2 years ago when the XP was first out. At that time I also bought an Epson Perfection 1250 scanner. Every time I want to copy something, I get an error message that the scanner is not connected. At first I thought it was my kitten that had been laying on the cords, but I have fixed it so he can't do that and I still get the error message. After I pull out the cord and reconnect it, it works fine (unless I have many, many pages to copy). Also, I have to copy using the color button or the pages are reduced to less than 1/4 the size of the page and I can't find anywhere in the book to change it so it is full sized. Help, Please! Hi Marian, My sense (from the reviews I've read) is that you've got yourself an inexpensive and buggy scanner. I recommend: Download the latest drivers for the scanner. Uninstall the old ones before installing new. Make sure you're current with Windows...
