Yes Bettia...I don't have that problem on my laptop, but definitely on my regular desktop computer! I end up turning it off then on again!

maybe i need to download it again....????????????
anyone else having this problem?

My laptop is going to our IT guy tomorrow. I think I have a problem with my McAfee anti-virus software. I can't open any of my programs without the laptop locking up. Strangely enough I have no problem connecting the internet. Go figure.

I think I will mention that other people are having problems too that have the Dear Jane software. We may need to contact EQ to see if they know of any problems with their software.

I am so sorry. When I got home from work today I noticed that I have the rows and columns labeled wrong. They are labeled as excel labels rows and columns not as Brenda labeled rows and columns. I can fix it tomorrow at work.

my laptop had a nervous breakdown tonite.
i had to download a bunch of stuff from norton, rebooted and she's back on the road. Except her fingers can't spell very good.
I wonder if DJ software had anything to do with it. I haven't logged into DJ since, maybe I should do that.

There have been some really nasty viruses going around lately, maybe ya'll had one of those. I haven't had any trouble with the software (fingers/toes crossed for luck). You might have to totally delete and then re-install. I'm really afraid to mess with my security software... :shock:

OMG, I think you're right Patti. I logged on last nite and I could even set up my own JS.

Jumping up and down like I always imagine Blue doing, with hand in the air.

I still can't print. I am going to download software to desktop tonight and see if I can print from there. I hope so, so I can get started on these blocks.

Well, that will get you started off right! Good luck with the printing. The blocks are really addicting, so once you get started...look out!

I just sewed a whole section of a block on backwards, I was so pleased I had perfect points I didn't even realise it was entirely the wrong way! LOL But I never thought to take a photo.

I was impressed the other day when cutebuns posted a photo of her triangle that didn't go well, and Klue has posted a block she plans to redo, it's nice to know that such amazing quilters have things that don't go well. We all know it happens, but you don't really believe till you see it.

So, I had the idea that maybe we should have a blunder prize, that we all vote for the best one at the end of each six weeks. I don't mind sending something from here, or everyone could send a charm square... I haven't really thought this through! LOL But I think if we saw more mistakes we might not be so hard on ourselves. :-)

I Win LOL

I wish I'd taken a photo of my backwards one, it would be a good start.

Blue - you crack me up!
