TOPIC:

I am away from the computer for about a week. I'll look at the preferences when I'm back. Thank you again. We'll continuing chatting next week.

When I turned off the computer FMF still could not open files. It could do a online and system search. I have a note into Apple. I have found a program that I did not download and they did not install. The proxies were changed. It's why FMF could not do the online search.

Now to find out why in a dialogue box with headings I can no longer click date to see the most recent on top. FMF had that and now my desktop folder does too.

It seems you've got some cleaning up to do.

Good luck

Hi Harris.

I just wanted you to know that for some unknown reason - LogMeIn was installed on my Mac - without my knowledge. The company thinks it may have come bundled with software - the only software I bought recently was yours...

I did not want to use the recommended method from Apple - it was just too scary for me, and since 98% of the computer was fine, I couldn't see taking a risk for 2% that I could learn to live with how it functioned.

The good news was I "uninstalled" LogMeIn - after talking to the folks there - restarted my computer - and all is well. Yes, I can even have Find My Font open a file again, and I can sort the columns by which ever heading I like. I'm happy for the small things in life.


Thank you for your helping me. If it comes up again - you'll know what to tell the next person.

BTW - I asked LogMeIn what their program was. It is a remote that can see into a computer for someone helpful to figure out what is going on. We looked to see who had the access, and I'm happy to report - NOBODY... whew.

I'm glad it all worked out OK.

BTW, I use LogMeIn extensively to provide support to some clients and friends. It's an excellent product and very useful.
I don't know of any products that have it bundled. Most probably it was installed by a person. Since you uninstaled it you have nothing to worry about.

Wish that was true - but I am the only one on this computer... it's my business machine - and not a soul is here to turn it on... but me.

Not even the cat has the password.

BTW - LogMeIn suggested that as the way I got it...

I stand corrected
