Hit insert f11 to get access to items in the system tray. Find the windows security center. Hit alt plus d to double click it. When it opens you should be on the resources button. Tab over, and you should be on the link that says get the latest security and virus information from microsoft. If you don't land on that link, shift tab back to the resources button and press it. Then tab over, and you should be on it. Now, arrow down to the change the way security center alerts me link. Enter on that, and go ahead and uncheck the things you don't want to be alerted about. Click ok, and then alt plus f4, to close the security center.

I can't get away from the thought that there's some little thing I'm overlooking in Windows that causes that message to pop up again and again, although the problem would appear to be self evident. If I could just click the darned thing, as instructed, that might pacify it. Nonetheless, the rational part of me is 99.5% sure the firewall is active.

I have tabbed to the systray with fingers moving faster than the speed of light but still by the time my computer got there, moving at the speed of snale, there was nothing there. So, I keep the help balloons messages turned on in the "never say die" hope that I will some day be able to read one! ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Grimsby JR. <mailto:jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 11:18 AM Subject: RE: Help baloons hi if help messages are really bothering you people to keep this jaws related turn them off in configuration manager under verbosity. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of stacey robinson Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 10:20 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Help baloons Thanks for this info.
