A fairy tale romance:The Stellar and the Princess – Parts 1 and 2
The Stellar and the Princess – Parts 3 and 4
Fancis, do you know anything about, Adobe Reader? Since I downloaded, a book on it, It has taken over all of my favorites reads, & my pictures. Now I can't get the pictures, to my facebook page. Please reply when you can. Thanks Rita.
Well, I've never known Adobe Reader to do that. I only use it for reading PDFs that are on my hard drive.

Dont know how to transfer the, pictures I like. Some are flowers, and others are dogs. Animals, & there wellfair, is my passion, along with, reading. I would save every animal in the world, if I could. To some people, it sounds crazy, but, somebody, has to be a voice, for them. Thats me.
Rita, what it sounds like is that Adobe Reader has changed the association between itself and your other files. As might know that most files have a period and then three or four letters after that period. For example myfile.doc the .doc tells the computer what made the file and what software to open the file with. ".doc" for example is a word DOCument and MicroSoft Word may open it. When you installed Adobe Reader it basically overrode your old settings and said to open everything with it. That is why when you click on a picture Adobe Reader opens rather than say Picture view. I would guess that there was an option to do this or not do this when Adobe Reader was doing it's install but you did not realize what it was asking at the time and you said yes/ok.
To fix this you need to recreate your association. I don't know what type and version of computer you have so I can't tell you how to fix it.

If you find a photo on your desktop or in Windows Explorer, can you right-click and choose "Open with..." (or something like that)?
Francis method does work but it is a one shot and doesn't change the over riding problem. Windows 7 is what I really need to give the correct instructions.
In windows 7 open the control panel. Click on the word "Programs". Under default programs you should see an option: "Make a file type always open in a specific program". Click on this.
It will take a few moments to load.
You will then get a long list of period, three letter combination files types with the programs on the right which will open or run the software.
You will then need to change the files you want open by other programs. For example for image such as jpg you will scroll down to .jpg, highlight (select it) and push the "change program" button and select the other software you want to open all future JPGs with.
I hope that helps.

Please, speak in plaine english, because, Teck. is greek to me.

I have to write these instructions down before I go back there.

Francis wrote: "Well, I've never known Adobe Reader to do that. I only use it for reading PDFs that are on my hard drive."I still can't get off of, Adobe Reader, even for my picturs. Nothing seemed to help. It's the pits, but will have to learn to live with it.Tectnolog, isn't, one of my strong, points.
Francis, & Eric, I tried really hard, but couldn't get it figured out. Adobe still has control. I had a couple of books, on my favorit list, & adobe even change one of them, to a completely, to another version of the book, with another author. Sometimes, things, can just, suck, but will get over it. Thanks for trying to help.
I don't understand what has happened, so I can't really help - sorry. :-(
Fracis, I know, & I will have to get used to, Adobe, taking over everything. If I, could get my, son in law, over here, he might be able to help. Thanks for tring to help!!!!!

Francis, I ask internet how to fix Adobe takover. They have answered, but I can't see the diagram given. It is so tiny. The say, to select the program I want to chg. & click default button. How do I do that, when I can't see it?
Rita wrote: "Francis, I ask internet how to fix Adobe takover. They have answered, but I can't see the diagram given. It is so tiny.

You should find it around your favorite bar.
It wont work, with that widow, I tried. I can't get the default to work from what they are showing me either. I guess I will just have to live with it messed up. I think my son in law could fix it, but can't seem to be able to get him over here. That Sucks!
I can't get a default button to come up anywhere. My curse won't work, at all on the page the answere is on. Nothing works, from that page. I will just have to live with it. No problem!!!!!
You're not the only one, though. Have a look at this:http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/...

Francis, that is to complicated for me. I better get my son in law over here to do this.
Francis, my icon, would not respond to anything, when that page was up.

Screaming Spires: my review of Georgiana Derwent's follow-up to Oxford Blood.(See also: Oxford Blood, Screaming Spires.)
Immortal Perfection – The Amaranth and the Plot Hammer is a review of Elise Valente's Vendetta, but also something of a rant.
A friend and I are trying to put together a Vampire Event for October. I'd like to get other blogs to join us. We haven't worked out the details yet, but if anyone wants to join us, let me know.
It would be on a variety of blogs if we can get other people interested who have vampire blogs or who've written vampire books. I guess even if they just had a paranormal blog that would be good. It will be a Vampire Event with a list of great vampire books to try, excerpts, maybe interviews with some vampire writers, posts on the subject written by different people who love vampires. Maybe a post on vampire related movies or shows. We just thought it would be fun. My friend wants to make it a yearly thing and maybe do witches next year. This is still in the idea stage so any ideas you have on the subject would be appreciated. Thanks.
Well, I'm often blogging about vampires, so would be happy to join in.

K.C. I wish all of you, good luck, with your event, and, Francis, is very good, to help people out, when they need it. Hi, Francis.
The Plot:Erotica Ratioin which I discuss a new review of my novel, Suzie and the Monsters: A Fairytale of Blood, Sex and Inhumanity.
This weekend I'm heading off to Romania for some vampire hunting. To celebrate my humanity, while I still can, I'm making my fantasy novella about the vampire Hrana free for the next five days (22-26 May, 2013). Here's an excerpt: The Vampire.Some recent reviews of vampire novel(la)s:
* A Vow of Tears, by Jill H. O'Bones
* The Dark Proposal, by Megan Cashman
* everafter, by Nell Stark and Trinity Tam
* Black Heart, by Morgan Dreiss
Have fun, Francis. Come back to us still human!

I'd love to join. I'm an author of vampire books - my first one's due for release the end of June - and I occasionally blog about vampires, too.

Alas, no more castles, and no vampires, just a couple of mosquito bites on my neck. Anyway, here are some more holiday snaps:The Black Church, The Naked Lady and The Sphinx
The Road to Poenari
ps. Has anyone else noticed that the nights are unusually bright for this time of year. I dunno, maybe it was just the full moon...
Back now from Romania... I bumped into my two favourite vampires (A Warning to Other Travellers) and Cleo's written her story for me (Cleo's Tale).
