there was a problem starting

there was a problem starting C:PROGRA_Z\CUTTER~1\CUTTER-1-DLL, the specified module could not be found.

I have been getting this notice for quite some time at startup. It was there on windows 7 and is still there after upgrade to win 10.

It seems to do no harm. I have run Malewarebytes and other antivirus agents and none seem to notice it.

I ran Avast's boot scan and it did not pick it up either.

I'm told that it is probably a left over from some maleware that has been removed or a program of sorts.

In "programs and features" it lists something called "CutterRunner". I've tried to uninstall it but just brings up the notice above.

It is very annoying!

Any thoughts?

Have I Been Spoiled by the DVD/Streaming Era?

I missed an episode of Minority Report, so now I'm physically and emotionally incapable of watching the rest of the series until I can watch it in it's entirety. It's fine, because I have no problem waiting until it's out on DVD, or until I can stream the series at my leisure, but certain people in my circle think I'm insane because of this.

Anyone else suffer from this affliction?

While we're always on the lookout for full-length fantasy, science fiction, and horror, we're really in the market now for Urban Fantasy and Military Sci-Fi.

(Actually, although the web page title says Harper Voyager Impulse, the text says HarperVoyager US, so I'm not sure if this is an Impulse-only open sub.)

Gun control for the benefit of cops

Wisconsin gun shop owes millions for the injuries two policemen suffered as a result to negligent sales practice:

Funny how this doesn't bleed (yes, bleed) over into the injuries suffered by civilians in similar regard.

What are some different ways you'd like to see characters with mental disorders portrayed in MG

I am working on a short MG story that features two protagonists. One is dyslexic and the other is autistic. I have been doing my research and would love to get some of everyone's opinions on here. What are some common stereotypes of mentally disabled characters and what are some new portrayals of these types of characters that you'd like to see.

Calling all foster care experts/those with personal experience:

You're a 16yo being moved from a group home to a foster family. What do you know/how informed are you of what's going on and what does this process look like/feel like? (This is your first placement; you haven't been in the system for long.)

Also what does it look/feel like from the other side of the equation-- the foster care workers and foster parents?


(Feel free to PM me if you'd like to respond more discreetly.)
