Messed up gvim colorscheme

Hello all!
I absolutely hate the standard colorscheme for gvim, so I decided to change it. I now use 'desert' and I really like it. The problem is that I have to select it manually every time! My .vimrc looks like this:
colorscheme desert
and I believe the font colors are all set up correctly, but it seems the background color is too bright! Please give advice

Try this:
ln -s .vimrc .gvimrc
and make sure that your color scheme is working both in vim and gvim - currently I use:
colorscheme darkspectrum
This is what works for me - in vim as well as in vim.
Best regards,
tami

[Solved] Gvim colorscheme/background problem

I have a problem with my .vimrc...
Gvim doesn't seem to really appreciate my colorscheme or even background settings or cmdheight.
I'd really like to get my Gvim properly working so I could finally start using it....
Every time I open Gvim, it has the light background with the Wombat-theme text color and a cmdheight of 2, even though my config specifically sets it to one. Doesn't matter whether I have the "set background=dark" either, it's light no matter what. Atleast, until I manually :set it inside Gvim.
" vim
set nocompatible
set shortmess+=I
set textwidth=80
set number
set nowrap
set showmatch
syntax on
" gvim
colorscheme wombat
set background=dark
set guioptions=
set cmdheight=1
set guifont=DejaVu\ Sans\ Mono\ 8
"Set guifont=Terminus\ 8
" indent
set smartindent
set autoindent
"set expandtab

[SOLVED] Problem with vim and wombat colorscheme

Hi there,
I'm having some problems with wombat colorscheme for vim. It's just working on gvim.
I read somewhere that wombat just work in gvim. Is that right ? I'm already using a 256-colors terminal (rxvt-unicode).
I looked here in the forum, but I didn't find anything about.
Just for information I downloaded it from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1778

[SOLVED] `Vim/Gvim: set mouse=a works only in Gvim?

I'm diving into the world of (g)vim this weekend and although I'm starting to get the hang of things, I seem to be having a problem with the mouse functionality. I have set mouse=a specified in my .vimrc and gvim respects it, but when I run vi in a terminal session (urxvt) I have to explicitly type :set mouse=a in ex mode before it will work. Am I missing something?
Here's what I've got in my .vimrc (linked also ~/.gvimrc) so far:
" (G)vim settings
set nocompatible " use gVim defaults
colorscheme wombat " define syntax color scheme
syntax on " enable syntax highlighting
set mouse=a " make sure mouse is used in all cases.
set backspace=2 " full backspacing capabilities
set nocindent " set C style indenting off
set cmdheight=2 " command line height
set ignorecase " ignore case in search patterns
set laststatus=2 " occasions to show status line, 2=always.
set ruler " ruler display in status line
set showmode " show mode at bottom of screen
set number " toggle line numbers
set nobackup " disable backup files (filename~)
set hlsearch " highlight all search results
set showmatch " show matching brackets (),{},[]
" Gvim Settings
set guioptions-=T " disable toolbar icons
set guifont=Consolas\ 8 " backslash any spaces
SOLVED: Silly me I was running 'vi' which has no X support... pacman -S vim fixed it fine.

I just had an issue with no sound after recent updates. Not sure it's the same problem you are having.
I found I had to open Audio Mixer, select Sound card: HDA Intel PCH (Alsa mixer), Select Controls, check box for Speaker and check box for Headphones. After doing this I found the Speaker volume was set at minimum (although Master and PCM were already set at maximum). Adjusted Speaker volume up and I finally had sound again.

Font problem in Gvim

I'm having a slight issue with using a specific font in Gvim. Here's the problem. When I open Gvim and select this font, it displays fine and works without any problem whatsoever. But when I use this line in my .gvimrc file,
set guifont=Adore64\ 6
and I open up a new session of Gvim, it results in garbage characters.
Now, I've tried fontforge to no avail, and of course I've spent time googling for a solution but haven't been able to solve it. I did find something about Gvim not being able to display non-monospace fonts or something along those lines, but if that's the case, why does the font display just fine if i manually change it once I've opened a new session?

Morrad wrote:
I'm sorry for the wild goose chase then.
Last couple stabs in the dark^H^H^H questions:
Can you specify the font without the size successfully? (ie, :set guifont=Adore64)
Does it work when you specify a different font size?
What happens if you start from a given font, and manually try to set the guifont while gvim is running?
What is vim's encoding set to (:set encoding)? Does changing that do anything to help?
No worries man, really appreciate the help. As for those questions.
No luck there
Nope, tried 8, 10, 12 as well as 6, but still getting garbage characters (Size changes though).
That works
It's currently set to 'encoding=utf-8', and changing it to =iso8859 or =Latin1, didn't seem to work either.
It's strange because if I'm able to set it manually once Gvim is opened you would assume the exact same command would work in the .gvimrc file. And just in case there might be some conflicting commands or something, here's my full .gvimrc file.
colorscheme waspy
set nu!
set ts=4
set lines=40

Vim issues...meta keys and colorscheme not working correctly

The first issue isn't really a vim problem, but it's related. When running Vim in a terminal, my meta key bindings don't work. I've tracked it down to a problem with Xfce's Terminal as noted here: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/m … p-alt-keys
...but I'm not sure exactly how to fix it. I suppose I could always switch to another terminal, but I'd like to stick with Xfce's version if possible.
The second issue is that my color scheme isn't being set when I first load up gVim. As soon as I open a file, it properly displays, but the "splash" page doesn't show it. I'm using desert (who doesn't) and this is what it looks like when I first load up gVim:
I did stop using a separate <code>.gvimrc</code> in favor of putting everything in my <code>.vimrc</code> file under a conditional, and all the other settings work just fine. Here's what that conditional looks like:
if has( "gui_running" )
set columns=84 " Set the window's width
set lines=43 " Set the window's height
set guioptions-=T " Remove the toolbar from the window
set guifont=Terminus 12 " Use a clean monospaced font
colorscheme desert
else
set background=dark
colorscheme desert
endif
In case you're curious, here's my entire <code>.vimrc</code> file.

Vim/gvim vs. self compiled vim

I have set up a colorscheme in my vimrc and it worked in vim, but not in gvim... I also wanted to use python in vim so I build my own PKGBUILD and compiled vim by myself.
Now the colorscheme is used in vim and gvim... is there a bug in the packages or why is it working now?
my configure:
./configure --prefix=/usr --localstatedir=/var/lib/${pkgname}
--disable-darwin --disable-netbeans
--enable-gui=gtk2 --enable-gtk2-check --enable-pythoninterp
--disable-gpm --disable-acl --enable-multibyte
--with-features=big

oh its late at night... I think I should go to bed, 'cause I don't get it...
why is gvim starting in graphical mode, but vim not?? gvim is just a symlink, right? So how does gvim know that it should be started with the gtk2 gui :?:
I'm talking about my colorscheme settings:
set nocompatible
set history=200
set number
set ruler
set guioptions+=f
colorscheme slate
set background=dark
set shiftwidth=4
set tabstop=4
set expandtab
set textwidth=79
syntax on
filetype on
filetype indent on
filetype plugin on
au FileType python Tlist
When I start gvim, I have a white "paper" with white font, so I can't see anything. If I set background=light, I can't read anything, too...
If I start vi, I can't use a gui at all, but the reason for that is clear now.
It only works if /etc/gvimrc is deleted... I don't understand why!
And again, maybe a very stupid question (but its really late here): Why is gvim started in graphical mode, and vim in console mode (gvim is just a symlink)... is there a parameter set somewhere?

There isn't a .gvimrc in /etc.
I also tried creating it (and .vimrc) and linking them to the one in my home, but it didn't work.
The config files are not hidden in /etc. Thus it is not /etc/.gvimrc but /etc/gvimrc.
This file should be there, it was installed by the gvim package.
By the way, from where do you load your color scheme, global (/usr/share/vim/colors) or local (./vim/colors)? It appears that KDE messes up the environment when starting an application from the menu.
(I can't check this now as I'm using IceWM currently.)

Opinions on gVim as opposed to just Vim

I'm finally going to learn Vim, and I will have gVim on my system for a graphical text editor to launch out of pcmanfm. I'm just curious whether any of you feel that there's some advantage to using, or at least learning out of, gVim over Vim.

On topic, by accident; I use vim and gvim pretty much interchangably. tabbing works nicer in gvim. If I'm in a console I type vim cause its shorter (or :edit by mistake often enough that I aliased it to vim). I have my console and my gvim both set to use the zenburn theme, so they look pretty much the same.
gvim looks a bit more modern but on ssh and screen vim is cooler. I'd say use gvim when you can and use vim when its more convenient.

I use oceanblack in both but colors are not the same, they are pretty different indeed. I tried zenburn also. In both I type <esc>:color zenburn but only in gvim I have better results.
Maybe I'm missing something. I use Sakura terminal and vim has few colors. Maybe I should use something else for TERM variable....at the moment I have TERM=xterm.
Could you please tell me how did you obtained same colors for vim and gvim?

Are you using default terminal colors (light grey on black) or are you using
some "xterm color scheme" outside of Vim? If you are, Vim is not necessarily
aware of it.
What happens if you log in on a text console (Ctrl-Alt-F2 then repli to the
login prompt with username & password) and start Vim there? Can you set
colorschemes properly?
Use ":view $VIM/vimfiles/colors/chela_light_vim" or ":view
~/.vim/colors/chela_light.vim" (depending on where that color scheme is
located -- it should NOT be under $VIMRUNTIME because it wasn't distributed
with Vim and any upgrade can silently change or remove anything in the
$VIMRUNTIME tree). Does it include "cterm/ctermfg/ctermbg" clauses in its
":hi" statements? If not, it's a GUI-only colorscheme.
Similarly with ":view $VIMRUNTIME/colors/desert".
The settings for console Vim in a color terminal (cterm= ctermbg= ctermfg= )
are not necessarily the same as for gvim (gui= guibg= guifg= ) because a color
terminal typically has 8 background and 16 foreground colors, whereas the GUI
typically has 16,777,216 of each kind.
Best regards,
Tony.

This explains all. You have to use a colorscheme made for both, gvim and vim.
I tried zellner scheme with white background in sakura virtual terminal and the colors are matching.
If your virtual terminal supports 256 colors you can set in vim: set t_Co=256 for better results.
Pity that oceanblack scheme is just for gvim.
Well, will just continue using gvim.

Gvim very unstable

Hi all,
My GVim (installed from the Arch repos) has recently become very unstable, easily segfaulting every couple of minutes.
I do use a fairly large number of plugins (see below) and I could try disactivating them one at a time to see if one of them is the culprit but I'd rather not go though that route, so has anyone had this kind of problem before?

Actually vim crashes in the same fashion... I'm using emacs with evil mode right now as a backup but I'm far from having reached my previous level of customization, and that sucks :-)
My computer works fine other than that, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
On the other hand, I noticed that when this instability started, I would get "deadly signal segv caught" printed to my terminal after the crash, but now sometimes I don't even get that line anymore.

Gvim uesrs, help me with my .vimrc :(

Hey guys, tried to start using vim, having this really weird problem with gvim on my laptop: I have the following .vimrc, I just wanted it to change to the colorscheme "slate" upon startup, but havn't had any success yet. Here's the my .vimrc file, what am I doing wrong?

[Solved]vim colorschemes not working

Vim colorschemes are not working.When I set a colorscheme with ":color name" colors change just a bit but it don't get nothing even near the theme preview.
I'm using rxvt with zsh.I already tested urxvt colors with a perl script,they're working fine.
Sorry for my bad english and for being such a fucking newbie.
Last edited by instinct (2013-03-13 21:17:32)

I recommend firstly to define all your terminal colors in your ~/.Xdefaults accordingly. Here's a sample from my own ~/.Xdefaults - I'm using urxvt terminal with standard terminal colors:
URxvt.background: rgb:00/00/00
URxvt.foreground: rgb:c2/c2/c2
*color0: rgb:00/00/00
*color1: rgb:a8/00/00
*color2: rgb:00/a8/00
*color3: rgb:a8/54/00
*color4: rgb:00/00/a8
*color5: rgb:a8/00/a8
*color6: rgb:00/a8/a8
*color7: rgb:42/42/42
*color8: rgb:00/00/00
*color9: rgb:f8/54/50
*color10: rgb:50/fc/50
*color11: rgb:f8/fc/50
*color12: rgb:50/54/f8
*color13: rgb:f8/54/f8
*color14: rgb:50/fc/f8
*color15: rgb:f8/fc/f8
You can test your terminal colors with a color script found here.
After that you should set up vim. Start with ~/.vimrc and ~/.vim/colors/yourcolor_scheme.vim.
In ~/.vimrc you should have
set t_Co=256
syntax on
And then you can find yourself a colorscheme that fits you. Now here's the tricky part: the colors in here are defined for terminals (cterm colors) and for gvim (gui colors). I find it hard to get the desired colors using cterm colors, so I am using a script that converts guicolors to the equivalent terminal colors - its called guicolorscheme. After you download the script, put it in ~/.vim/plugin, and add this to the bottom of your ~/.vimrc:
if (&t_Co == 256 || &t_Co == 88) && !has('gui_running') &&
\ filereadable(expand("$HOME/.vim/plugin/guicolorscheme.vim"))
" Use the guicolorscheme plugin to makes 256-color or 88-color
" terminal use GUI colors rather than cterm colors.
runtime! plugin/guicolorscheme.vim
GuiColorScheme hax
else
" For 8-color 16-color terminals or for gvim, just use the
" regular :colorscheme command.
colorscheme default
endif
I have thinkered with my own colorscheme here to get some nice colors, so you are free to use that one, and remember to put it in ~/.vim/colors/.

My wife keeps putting photos on here like they are going out of fashion. Bought the machine in 2008 because everybody said you have a MAC. I've never really got to grips with it but at least it worked. Now it does not run very well at all. That spinning wheel is driving me mad.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Why does my safari browser frequently gives me a gray screen? I resetted my safari many times and it doesn't help. Also sometimes when I scroll it gives me this weird scrolling effect where everything is either upside or messed up.

I have been really messed up and defrauded by your employee. I have the email proof through this site, besides witness's.

I have a record of my email and post regarding my problems with Internet Explorer 11, with my Windows 7, not working and connecting to other sites not nearly working as well as Int. Explorer 10. I was just told by support since I didn't have a case number,
I had no proof. My email account in Microsoft is the same as with Verizon. So, I have proof on this site. Now, after I posted my complaint reg. Int. 11 not working nearly as well with my Windows 7. An employee from Microsoft took control of my computer for
the 2nd time without notice. I was SO VERY clear about wanting to go back from Int.Ex. 11 to Int.Ex.10. An employee actually restored by computer without me asking from 10 back to 11, after I had some issues with hackers. As stated in my emails to you, Int.
Exp. 11 never seemed to be very compatible in working with the add-ons and communicating to other sites. The guy who took over my laptop without permission, I thought was helping, ignored everything I asked for. I worked through the night and for about 10
hours with him. I had to make 16 backup/restore disks, per him doing all the actions through Homegroup. I didn't even know u could take over my computer controls without permission. He made changes after changes, while I mostly kept my hands off the keys throughout
the night and the day yest. I was just putting in disk after disk when it would pop out and he had the notice keep popping up, when he wanted me to change disks. I have not slept or ate for two days, cuz I kept working through hardcore stress. I didn't even
follow what changes he was making cuz it was going to fast with things popping up everywhere. I would just have to ender Adminstrator ID and enter a few items. I did not make an alteration, cuz I did not want to mess it up. He completely ignored my email/post
about consistently wanting to go from Int. Exp. 11 back to 10. I was so ill and tired, that I could barely keep up. After working with him, by just inserting disks mostly, I sent an email at the end to Microsoft saying that I don't think his repairs would
work. This due to many issues, but mainly still not getting the add-ons for my different drivers. I had Google Chrome, Bing and the Int. Exp. 11 I wanted reversed, cuz he still could not get all the add-ons to work, with red checks over them and saying disabled,
as long with other issues. I just kept having to put in my Adminstrator passwords and he used my guest access as well, which I never use. I was so frustrated. NOT NEARLY AS UPSET AS A FEW-FIVE HOURS AGO, when I found it was worse than ever and the main
thing I complained about and asked for, Int. 11 going back to 10, did not happen at all. There was just Int. Exp. 11 and he even took off my Google Chrome. I had no idea that my computer could also look different with different users. Icons being larger and
in different places. It upset me horribly because I am ill cuz the stress I have been under and have not even ate since this began. I have proof via emails and also spent 10 hours following his lead. I had no idea, when I turned my laptop back on, it was NOT
ONLY NOT WORKING CORRECTLY, BUT HE KEPT Int. Exp. 11 and never made the change. There were so many pages up, I could not see what he was doing. It took me 16 disks to just copy all the stuff in the drive. I also used tried to use the small cards, when the
disks went way too fast. Now, my laptop is worse than even, with things saved all over my files, where I have no idea of what is what. He typed in the names to these backup files and I was too sick to keep up at all. I was so exhausted and sick at the end,
I was just glad he was done. Like I said, I sent an email while he was still working on the issues, to you saying that it does not look good at all and would probably not work. He closed the approx. 20 windows that were open quickly, when the last disk backed
up all the changes. I was feeling so horrible, I had to just shut the laptop off and pray. Then, after resting for hours, I turn it on to find NO Int. Exp. 10 and still Int. Exp. 10. Many of the add-ons issues and a bunch of other things were worse than
even. I called in for help, he was pretty rude, cuz I was/am exhausted, sick & upset. My laptop is arranged differently and also does not function correctly. I could have just uninstalled 11 and installed 10, like I asked about in my email. My files even
said Int. Exp. 11 going to Int. Exp. 10. He ignored me and also left my computer way worse in other ways, with software uninstalled and items rearranged. The guy who I spoke to a little while ago said I had no proof I even worked with him. Not only do
I have records of what was sent, I had people swing by and they saw what was going on. I was complaining to them how exhausted/sick I felt for being up so long w/o food, while feeling helpless. The guy I just spoke with gave me case #1278021415. My email sent
you guys while he still controlled my computer is through Microsoft. So, I am certainly not some crazy guy. I actually have been able to fix issues by hackers, etc., worse than this before. Now, my computer is way jacked, I need to work in a bit, and am so
sick over this. Plus, I will probably have to hire someone to reverse all this horrible damage done. I cant believe even the computer looked different under my Admin. name & guest name. So many issues that I did not have and he did not even listen to what
I wanted to change. I could have swithed 11 to 10, but I wanted to know the effect it would have on Windows 7 and docs, if any? I believe he worked on it so long, cuz he felt bad for going into my laptop the day before, without any notice, and restoring my
computer back from Int. Exp. 10 back to 11. He was trying to help, but I did not even ask for any at that time. Now, my computer is jacked, I don't really trust all the backups disk/files, cuz so many. I could tell he knew what was saved where though. He did
it all. I just was assisting, watching and trying to keep up with copying the info and putting in disks. Now, I am stuck with a messed up laptop and your tech wanted money from me, after your guy messed up my laptop bad, crazy things changed in 2 different
settings/names and I have been not able to eat or sleep now for two days cuz of this. Then, your guy questioned if I was telling the truth. I have lots of property and am successful. I just didn't feel I should pay a company for unauthorizingly changing and
breaking my stuff, while making me stressed and ill. I have 2-3 techs that handle issues, if I don't feel like dealing with them, but I actually know what to do on computers pretty well when not sick and rushed. I am no tech, but certainly no idiot. Its not
hard to see things were not going well with red warnings all over the place and saying add-ons were disabled with big red marks over them. I am sure your tech knew, that is why he closed it so fast. Why did he not even try to change what I asked in my email??
He completely ignored me and now I am ill and have a laptop way worse. Suppose to do some work in a bit, but I am so exhausted, hungry and back issues from all this typing leaning over (had X-rays a few weeks ago). I don't know what to do at this point off
exhaustion and also being questioned if I was making it up or something. I have witnesses and the email. My headed on email that I sent through Microsoft is I want to go from Int. Exp. 11 to Int. Expl. 10, cuz the add-ons don't work as well and I get booted
way more easily, or cant even reach other sites. I know it can be restored again, but it had issues before that I spend time and money fixing. I feel take advantage off and now blackmailed cuz your employee insisted that I pay for him just looking at the mess,
your other employee created. Just makes me more sick. I could trust Int. Exp. 11 to work and now I feel no trust and much deception by your company. I will probably be sick for days and I know my back is out again and I am cramping cuz no food and ALL stress.
I had an employee over watching me deal with all this happening, not friends, etc.. I saw he was using Homegroup and took down a few things. I knew it wasn't going well, but was in no shape to argue. Are you guys doing to do anything about this, or put
the blame on me for trusting your employees. I just asked a couple questions and complained. I never said anything about hacking into my computer and messing my life up. This just is not right at all. A laptop is a pretty cheap fix for me, but I did just pay
a guy over $200 to get things working well again cuz of hackers utilizing all the negative aspects about going onto some sites. I cant believe this happened. I cant believe this came from a large company, which I thought I could trust. Again, I have the email
I sent while he was stick backing up the changes. It took hours, literally for all those darn disks. What will you guys do about this, cuz I am too sick to do anything for a bit. I was in the hospital just a couple weeks ago, cuz of stress and issues of this
sort. Its so wrong!! I want to give my info on here, but I am sure you will have it. The guy even said I didn't need to put my email address, I believe, or was it name, but I put it on my email sent anyway. I never lie!! I look forward to your
response, C. York Also, the email address I use is for Verizon and I would prefer if u just sent it there or both places. I don't even want to look at this thing for a while, but my anxiety over this will probably force me to. I wish I could put
in a phone number. Maybe I can somewhere, cuz I would like to know what you are thinking about all this. I know I got wronged, but I wish I knew who exactly. Like in my 2 email, while he was working, I saw "Hagan", I believe in response to a first
post. I responded and asked question after reading it. I noticed when I went to post in public a bit ago, that I had never done that before. Just sent email direct, especially the 2nd, in which I have confirmation from your company. Again, last guy gave me
case #1278021415. I thought I could trust your employee, so I did not get a bunch of info from him. I hope u know who was working on it, since he was when I emailed you. If you don't get my info somehow, please email me here, so we can communicate. I might
post this a few places or keep it to post. I am so upset and shocked. Thank you! C. York

What I wound up doing was installing the newest of the newest versions of firefox (it's at 5.0 or something now, I think). That just made all the plugins, add-ons, and extensions I wanted to get rid of obsolete and it auto-removed them on its own.
I do really appreciate you taking the time out to try and offer some solutions though. Thank you very much for your effort!
