Recommendation
 

I just used Scott Wilcox to transfer data from one computer to another, install better security plus some other programs. He did a great job on all ends. He did not rush, had great patients, and worked well beyond the normal hours. I cannot say enough things in favor of Scott and recommend him to anyone who needs some computer help either transfers, repairs, etc.etc. I have a pretty extensive background on computers, (non technical) and think I can recognize someone with strong technical background. Scott more than meets those requirements.
His number is 352-461-5164. He will not rush a job and his price did not go up even though it took some extra time.:clap2:

Since I installed Windows 10, every time I log on I get an error message re msiexec.exe.
I press OK; but I get it again each time I log on. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Perhaps I just have to wait until I return to The Villages and hire Scott again.

Type msiexec.exe into Google and there are several pieces of information, including a reference to a Trojan file with the same name. Since you did not mention the specific error message this is the best I can do.

There are a number of open source browsers. With the code being open source, people are able to see what the program is actually doing.

already downloaded it, no problems as of this moment. i like the user interface

One caution. Be careful if you change win10 fonts or colors. It really messes up the display and it is difficult to reset the display back to default settings. Everyone is complaining about this.

I downloaded Windows 10 in August. Since then I've spent over six hours on the phone with three different Microsoft Technical Support Representatives.

The first Tech Support Rep took over my computer and told me that I had an outdated version of Windows 10. And that if I permitted him to download the improved Anniversary Edition, it would solve all my problems. It didn't.

The second Tech Support Rep also took over my computer. At this point I could receive emails but not reply to them. After two hours, he finally advised all problems had been corrected. The second Tech Rep didn't fix any problems. (The only way I can reply to an email is by using my iPad!!)

The third Tech Support Tech Rep said he was a Level 3 Technician, an "Escalation Specialist". According to him, there is no-one higher or more experienced. He told me he had corrected all my problems. He didn't correct any problems.

The Escalation Specialist now suggests I take my computer to a Fixit Store. He says he is out of ideas.

I am so sorry I ever installed Windows 10. I'm planning to buy a Mac.

I plan on switching to an apple also. The windows 10 infringement on my freedom to chose was too much for me to bear. :D to add insult to injury the upgrade still remains on my desktop and i can get it to go away.
I'm going to make rubi great again and vote in mac:D

I'd be happy to have a look at your problems and see if I can help. I've got no special qualifications other than having been a computer hobbyist since 1980 and mostly Windows-focused since the days of Windows for Workgroups all the way up to the present, so while I'm not a professional Windows tech, I do have quite a lot of experience solving issues. I'm not in TV right now, but there are various ways I could have a look at your system remotely. PM me if you're interested.

... and the same offer to you. I don't understand what you mean by the upgrade is still on your desktop, but I'd be happy to have a look and see if I can help.

Apple has good deals on refurbished equipment on their website. Refurbished equipment has the same 1 year warranty as new equipment but may have a 15-20% discount.

I'm going to stay out of the platform wars. Windows, Mac and Linux all have their strong and weak points, but for many people they're just too complex. In general, if all you use a computer for is network-based applications (e.g. email, web browsing, simple word processing, etc.) then I'd seriously consider not getting a general purpose computer. If you don't need a physical keyboard, look at a tablet. Otherwise, consider a ChromeBook. Both are much less functional than a general purpose computer, but they're also much less complicated and therefore considerably easier to maintain. If you don't need all the flexibility they provide, you're better off with something simpler.

If you do need more, and you don't need to run any platform-specific applications, an Apple machine is a fine choice, but you're going to pay a significant premium over what you'd pay for a Windows machine (because the hardware and ongoing support is generally better, not to mention the MacOS operating system is arguably more secure out-of-the-box). If you want to save money upfront and can do your own support, go with Windows. Don't even consider Linux unless you're seriously technical, as adding new hardware and software beyond what came with your Linux distribution can frequently be a complex task.

I would strongly recommend a switch to Google Chrome as a browser. Both IE 11 and Edge have issues and are not as reboust as Chrome.

If you hate Google then try Firefox.

Good luck.

Android, Kindle Fire, Chrome book, Chrome OS, and Nook are all Linux, but they are simplified so that there is less you can do, and less you can mess up. But many of the linux distributions out there are more geeky. :-)

I was referring to general purpose distributions, of course.
