I forgot to mention that I created many "views"within a portfolio, in the process of trying to solve my problem. Two anomalies occur. Anomaly one is I can't add most of the columns that existed before the problem started. I wasn't able to create a proper view, as a result. Needless to say, any...

I'm not sure what you mean. But maybe what I wrote below will give somebody an indication of what's the problem. I opened Yahoo Finance / My Portfolios on my desktop pc, and the correctly formatted page appeared. To see if this was real, I clicked Clear Recent History. After that, the problem...

You seem to be confused. The mobile site's representation is accurate, whereas the two laptops and one desktop pc are NOT.

Yahoo is the problem, since IE doesn't solve the problem either. I sent you a private message elaborating on Firefox, because I might get a slap on the hand by the admin, if I pursue matters not directly related to the subject of the thread.

I installed the Firefox v52.0.2 32 bit on my three pcs. No change. I updated the Firefox app on my cell phone. The Yahoo Finance page opens correctly, as it did with v52.0.1. I restarted my desktop pc in Safe Mode with networking, and opened Yahoo Finance. No change. My conclusion is that the...

Snowhiker, Before you edited your post on the site, I received an email notice and read the post. Here's what you wrote, before you got cold feet..... "A shot in the dark. Firefox 52 is the 64-bit version, is it not? By any chance, did the problems occur after you upgraded from 32 to 64 bit...

If you mean "Restart with Add-ons Disabled", which is Firefox's "Safe Mode", I did that too. No change! I often use "Clear Recent History", which clears browsing history, download history, form and search history, cookies, cache and active logins. No change!

More data: The error also appears using the IE browser. Uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling a different version, didn't help. The version of Firefox in the 3 pcs and the cell phone, are the same. It looks like Yahoo Finance doesn't like working with pc OSs anymore!

I forgot to mention that all 4 devices are using the Mozilla Firefox 52.0.1 browser. They're all connected to my Wi-Fi router network.

I've enjoyed using Yahoo Finance to view the portions of my portfolio containing stock market components, for about 15 years. Has anybody noticed a corruption of their portfolio page, where portfolio views can be created but not deleted? Also, I can't seem to get the totals of each view to...

Samsung is the buyer of trade-in phones, although my cell service provider is indeed Verizon Wireless. This model is the last Galaxy S series phone with a removable back panel to replace the battery. I happen to have a spare 2,800mAh battery.

I looked at both sites. I'm trying to offset the high price of the Galaxy S8 at 799 euros = $854 USD. The price of the S5 is lower than I expected, though. The truth is I didn't have any idea what it was worth. But I accept the way the supply and demand doctrine of free enterprise operates.

Hello all, There's a good possibility that Samsung will run a phone trade-in promotion when the Galaxy S8 is released on April 21st, as it did when the S7 and S7 Edge phones were released in February 2016. My Galaxy S5 is in pristine condition and Samsung will most probably allow me to use...

Lunar, I can't say that I had the bad experience you had, because I never waited hours for Windows Update to start. Also, I don't remember such a consistent problem as the one I've had recently, especially since only one laptop was affected. Had all 3 been affected, I'd say that Microsoft was...

Tannin, I've noticed on each of my 3 pcs, that once in a while, I'll start a Windows Update check and a bunch of bloody red text appears, stating that a connection error has occurred, posting an error code. At times, I'll start the program again, and it continues to show the error. At other...

I've been running Windows Update all day, with runtimes of no greater than 45 sec. per attempt before terminating. I'm confident that my problem was solved as a result of 1 or more of the 13 updates that I installed earlier today. All is well.

Stereodude, Try some of the steps in my post, leaving the Windows Firewall step for last. I don't think it was necessary for the solution.

The problem appears to be solved. ddrueding.....you were right. Tea.....based on my incident, in all fairness I can't accuse Microsoft of meddling into the affairs of end users by deceptively encouraging us into installing Windows 10. But I'm sure your experience with them has been superior...

I have 3 pcs, 1 desktop and 2 laptops. All 3 have SSDs. The desktop has Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed. The Lenovo laptop has Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64 bit installed. The laptop in question is a Toshiba with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed, which I bought in Aug. 2009. The...

Finally, PNY called back on Tue. morning, and said I have to send back the drive for evaluation, despite all the evidence from my pc's OS and diagnostic programs that the drive is dead. I forwarded the rep. the order confirmation email I received from the place of purchase. I received the RMA...

As you can see, the PNY process is really "difficult." The reason I didn't go directly to their website and request an RMA no., is that I was hoping that a tech support rep. would accept all of the evidence I compiled demonstrating that the drive is dead, instead of having to send it back for...

If your statement represents an offer to replace my drive, because it's usually cheap enough to be considered disposable, I gratefully ACCEPT your offer. If not, I'll have to continue waiting for the idiots at PNY who didn't return either of my calls from early this morning. They claim that...

If the issue of warranty replacement for any consumer product was less aggravating, I wouldn't attempt to a fix a device that's still under warranty. In this case, I have no choice other than to deal with PNY. Let's see if my two calls to tech. support this morning will get me a response...

Good news to offset the bad news. I found the invoice from my drive purchase. It was on Apr. 26, 2015. Stereodude.....The drive is no longer recognized by the OS, although it can be seen in My Computer. It has 0 bytes full, used and free capacities. It's DOA. PNY, here I come.....

Unless somebody on the forum can dispute the catastrophic findings of the HD Tune scan, this project has reached the end of the road.....without customer satisfaction!

I just completed a full error scan using HD Tune. The attached png file will show the results. How can a high 21.2% of the drive have damaged blocks, all of them in one area of the drive? The "position" equals the capacity, and I've seen 122,020 MB somewhere else. It should read just shy of...

Not yet. It may be a waste of time though. Read my next post.....

You'll be the first to know if I find such a program. I'm currently running a full error scan on the drive, using the HD Tune program. When the drive was working properly, it took about 20 min. to complete the scan. So far, it's taken 30 min. to scan 1/5 of the drive. It looks like it's stop...

Was it SanDisk who claimed there was a program to remove the write protection? If so, why did that fail, thereby requiring you to send it back for warranty service? How does a flash drive get to be read-only?

I'll look. Remember that my dilemma is the drive was write protected by some process unknown to me, which means first I have to remove the write protection before I do any format.

No write protect switch anywhere!

My PNY 128GB USB3.0 flash drive ( light grey / dark grey version with a sliding sleeve ) can't be formatted, because it's write protected. The drive doesn't have any data on it. There's a story behind how this occurred. The drive was in my Lenovo...

I failed to mention an incident that occurred when I disassembled the laptop. When I was eye to eye with the panel above which the touchpad assembly was located, I noticed a narrow flexible cable that was disconnected to a socket very close to it. Hoping that reconnecting it would solve my...

NEVER! I like being on the move and in the groove! The new mouse doesn't require that much movement to navigate across a 15.6" diagonal laptop display. I can adjust the pointer's speed and it's acceleration, to optimize it's usage.

time, Were you able to view my attached file, with the reference to the ability to use either one or two batteries in my new mouse?

Since the mouse doesn't come with a charger, I'm going to use two eneloops in it for maximum runtime. As for the additional weight of the 2nd battery, I'll use the mouse for "hand weight training!" Almost every Logitech mouse I bought eventually failed, with many failing and being replaced...

Sometimes a BIOS update goes overboard and adds or removes a feature that we found to be useful. In the case of the illumination bar between the touchpad and keyboard, I can't turn it off. It turns off in sleep mode and when restarting. It's pretty bright and is an eyesore. This was the most...

Since I don't have that much confidence that jtr1962 and I will be able to fix the touchpad, today I bought the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX. Here is the manufacturer's product page..... http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/anywhere-mouse-mx-p?crid=7 The mouse comes with two Duracell AA...

Thank you for the heads up on the capabilities I have in BIOS setup. When the touchpad was working, I was able to go to the Synaptics setup tab in Control Panel's Mouse applet, and check the box disabling the touchpad when a mouse is connected. I have no such capability, since the setup tab is...

Is there a place besides Toshiba's parts depot. from where I can order a part and install it myself? Toshiba's repair "starting price" is $252, return shipping included.

Both you and sdbardwick taught me a lesson, NOT to depend on a pc's manufacturer for help. YouTube will be my new source of tutorials when I come across a similar situation.

Thank you for giving me the guts to disassemble my laptop, via a very informative YouTube clip. My level of disassembly was much less than the person's laptop in the clip. I was able to get my hands on the panel that houses the touchpad components and look it over. My biggest worry was the...

Yesterday after I wrote my last post, I called Toshiba's tech. support to find out if they offer a Service Manual for my laptop on their website. They DO NOT. At that point, I decided to be brave and dismantle the unit. After removing all of the screws from the bottom and front of the case...

Concentrating on a hardware problem. What does it mean to you that the problem also exists in Safe Mode w/networking, which is what I discovered when I ran my latest restore point? Based on this, I'd say that the touchpad has a faulty mechanical connection with the electronics below it...

Hello all, My two laptops and desktop pc have been working well since my last forum post on Apr. 29, 2015. This is a miracle in itself, since I use all three every day. But the miracle ended today. I've had my Toshiba A505-S6965 Satellite laptop since Aug...

The problem was fixed by using EaseUS Partition Assistant. The process was kind of roundabout. Jtr and I shrunk the Windows partition and then enlarged it back to its original size. This fixed the bad partition table. If you recall, chkdsk deleted all restore points and also couldn't write to...

No I have not, nor have I tried any other program. The laptop has been extremely stable since the cloning procedure, so there's no urgency to repeat it at this time. As long as I don't use chkdsk, the pc performs as it has in the past with the factory supplied Seagate HDD.

Indeed, you recalled correctly the latest version of HD Tune. But all versions besides 2.55 cost $$$, and I've been using the unlimited use FREE versions of most software for years, without feeling like I've been missing anything. In fact, the only antivirus program that let me down since I...

Since the two settings I modify are not involved in a "power down" scenario, it makes no sense to me that the scanning program would revert the settings to their default values before working. The display turns off, but the drive is still functioning. the need for a password to turn on the...

I'm writing about a problem that I've had for about four years, that seems to point to the HD Tune 2.55 FREE program, released on Feb. 12, 2008. I have three pcs. One is a hand assembled desktop ( Apr. 2009 ), with the Win 7 Ultimate 64...
