Windows DLL Problem
Did you start having some computer problems this past week? Did
you start receiving the following error message:
"The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory.
The application will not run properly. The relocation occurred because the
DLL C:\Windows\System32\Hhctrl.ocx occupied an address range reserved for
Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for
a new DLL."
You will find the fix at my blog:

All of our SIGs are free to our members.
SIGs are a great place to get more personalized attention, and get your
questions answered. The following SIGs will meet this week:

Internet SIG.
Led by Roger Leer
This month we will be covering various types of video and audio access.
I will demonstrate how to transfer VCR tapes to your computer, and then
burn the videos to DVDs and/or CDs. I have several inexpensive
devices that we will cover. We can discuss which methods you like
best, and then we can devote future sessions to your favorites. We
will explore more free movie, music, video, and software download sites.
Bring a blank CD, DVD and /or flash card or memory card if you want your
own copy.

Do you know someone with a rental property?
The following message is written by a feller named Mike Fox who spends a
lot of his time trying to help the homeless. Please email
the Club Secretary if you
care to help out.
I have gotten to know several homeless folks in
my volunteer work with tent city who have $500-$550 rent vouchers
guaranteed by the county but are having difficulty finding rental
properties that will work with them.
One example: David. He's a 37 year old man
with Tourette's syndrome and a diagnosed schizophrenic who has been living
on the streets for years. He is not violent, has no criminal record,
nor does he drink or use any non-prescription mood modifiers, with the
exception of nicotine and caffeine. He currently receives NO
benefits from Social Security (I have him in the application process) and
while he has made attempts at finding day labor, these have proven
fruitless. The medication that works best for him -- Abilify -- is
$400 PER MONTH if purchased at Walgreens, and the county medical
card does not cover it.
If you own a property that is currently vacant,
and would be willing to rent to folks in serious need, please let me know.
Most of us have had a family member of friend in similar circumstances as
these folks, and it was family who ended up providing the help.
Well, in most cases, these folks don't have that option. They have
no family support, and governmental solutions are lacking. It's up
to us. If you have the heart to help a stranger in need, please
contact me, Mike Fox.
