How can I fix my computer after new installation?
I just installed new software onto my computer, and now my computer keeps
malfunctioning. It always ran fine until I installed this software. Is
there any way I can undo this installation and return my computer to its
previous state?

Control panel --> Add or Remove Programs --> Find said software and remove
it.

Or - better yet - contact the makers of the software you installed that has
seemingly messed up your computer and demand support for their product.

Several ways. The 'Add or Remove' app in Control panel might have an
uninstall option. There is also System Restore on the Start menu.

Likely nothing.

What your mistake is now is assuming that part of the responders signature
is aimed directly at you. Highly unlikely. Like my signature block - it
just contains something I wanted it to contain and does not change depending
on whom I respond to - it is static.

Think of it like a signature in any memo, letter, etc. It may state your
job title, the company you work for, ways to contact you, etc. In this
case - the signature contains information about something - something the
author of the response has found useful or finds useful in general or just
wants to share.

Are you saying that just because you are new means you shouldn't be aware of
things like Mark has in his signature block? *grin*

It's part of Mark's "sig" (short for signature) and as such, everybody
- unfortunately - gets it.
