Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

i tried to tell her that. but she does;nt think like that, i told her. If nothing works the attorney gets nothing. She does not understand that.

find a good one and tell her to come with you and see what the lawyer has to say initial consultations are free for these kind of cases

I did what you suggested and, yes, it succeeded. Next, rebooted the computer, then downloaded the current version of iTunes. When I installed it the same messages appeared again. Actually, the second message I've seen before but comes up when installing versus trying to uninstall. I've attached them. Thinking I'm going to need someone to look at the harddrive. Who to trust though?!

Thank you very much for you help!!
here is something else to try.

Also it's worth Un-registering and Re-registering Windows Installer

Follow these steps:

1. On the "Start" menu, click "Run:.
2. In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /unreg", and then press ENTER.
3. On the "Start" menu, click "Run".
4. In the "Open" box, type "msiexec /regserver", and then press ENTER.

I don't use iTunes so I am just reading what others have had problems with. Seems a lot of people have had the same problem for years with different operating system with no straight fix to the problem, so it is trial and error unless you want to format your hard drive.

That RevoUninstall I posted earlier has a free trial that is what some people used to fix the problem. Uninstalled everything to do with Apple and QuickTime then installed the newest version.

After sleeping on it and looking at your error again. It is saying 'Program Files' contains an invalid character because it should be 'C:\Program Files'.
Try to install it again and when it asks where you want to install it, point it to the Program Files folder instead of letting it do it itself.
Gets frustrating, doesn't it? Remember, when you want to smash the $%#%# out of your computer, just break the keyboard! It will break into many pieces giving much satisfaction and isn't too expensive to replace! heheWink

I'm trying to remember...did someone say on here that the Snus challenge that starts this week is just a survery for coupons? I haven't received any emails about it so I'm wondering if that is true and how they found out. I was hoping for another real challenge.

That's what I was told a couple weeks ago. But, someone else just posted yesterday or the day before that it is a lot more than that. I guess we'll have to wait and see! I hope the customer service rep lied to me and not them! hehe

Weekly Marlboro Snus Challenge NEW INFO
I called Marlboro (1/19) and this is what a Rep told me:

The sign-up period will begin 1/26 until 2/14. The game will last 8 weeks, which should be until 4/10/2011.

It will not be groups or teams, but invididuals. You will answer 5 questions each week, which will earn you 2 entries into the Sweeps. Winners will be picked randomly/weekly (not sure how many each week, depends on the prizes, which you can see weekly).

Grand Prize will be a trip to The Marlboro Ranch.

Forgot to also say that they WILL tell you the answers after you submit your choice. Unlike their last promotion. It's not known yet if you will earn points towards gear as well.
There is the original post from the other day.
