AskWoody PlusAugust 31, 2017 at 2:43 am #131397Ah, perhaps you meant “fershlugginer”? It’s a fine adjective that goes along with other Eastern European (and sometimes Jewish) lingual terms that have made their way into current (or at least East Coast) lingo. AKA old, used but barely functional, is the best I can convert it to in my West Coast reality.
Then again my Chicagoan Father-in-law said that in order to understand the word and it’s meaning, one needs to have several tots of Becherovka before even thinking about it.

AskWoody_MVPAugust 31, 2017 at 5:11 pm #131527Win7 – KB 4034664, KB 4034679, KB 4034670 all have an acknowledged problem with garbling data on a second screen on multi-screen systems. Microsoft issued a patch for the screen problem, KB 4039884, but then pulled the patch and re-released it, without any explanation or warning. The original Monthly Rollup, KB 4034664, has two additional acknowledged problems, an old problem with LDAP referral chasing and a crash in WordPad. KB 4034664 is still being pushed via Automatic Update.
Note that all of these issues were already present in the Windows 7 July updates.
