NONE of them had visited windoze update.If you have a system that you have tweeked so that it is stable, why would you even consider messing it up with an "update" from Microsoft. I'll let someone else be the alpha tester on their latest releases.

I offered to fix anyone's machine who brought it with them to dinner -- (that was a mistake) You are much too kind! By the way, where do you live? Yeah, my computer could stand a little work too! :-)

Appreciate it. You know how easy it is to copy & paste extra characters, and I had not checked that since revising the file.
That SWI forum I mentioned really is as good as they come, but they are overloaded- went from 5,000 members in June to 34,000+ now. It helps to use a cute girl's name if you register there-- the women-folk seem to get faster attention.

HAHAHAHA. I'll look for ya over there... just ping Bambi :o)Like a darn fool, I just used my handle from here, and got ignored-- finally read enough posts of problems like mine to figure out what to do.
If I had been aware of that when I registered, I'd-a used "junebug" or "littletart" or something feminine... I have no shame, hussy that I am...

with my total lack of expertise, I will tell you what several people have told me. Back up everything & reformat/clean sweep. if xp, add sp2; firewall; virus checker; several apywear programs, go to MS for update patches. Use Mozilla rather than IE.
Pray a lot, cross your fingers & if that doesn't work throw the thing out of the window & move to a remote island & go fishing
