If those two encounter something they can't take care of I have *other* methods.  (HijackThis is an old favorite.)
I will let CG explain all of the gory details in the tech thread though.  |
You've already covered the stuff that most mortals could do.
I'd give you a rep, but it won't let me.  |

Yeah, I did warn you abut waiting for their updates to be around for at least a month before installing them.
I've seen LOTS of fun Vista issues...
Especially when it comes to drivers. |

No, that " might"include you too.
I haven't been a chauvinist since I was a teen.  |

What? You want me to go into the whole msconfig and regedit stuff too??  Right here in front of everyone?
I know there is quite a bit more I could/should be doing. I look forward to your tutorial. |

Hi Everyone!!! Just stopping by to say, "HI" to my Okie friends. They showed Tulsa on the weather channel this morning and I couldn't believe they were having snow AGAIN. I think we've had less then some areas down there this winter. But it's been COLD. No springtime in sight for us.

Hi Jammie. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I think I have had 1/4 inch of snow all winter at my house. I am so ready for spring.

I NEVER said " tutorial".
I only do that stuff at work...
I just figured I'd pass on a few tips and links to those who were interested.
And NO, we will NOT be discussing regedit and msconfig... M'kay?
Can you imagine how many enemies I'd make when folks
blew up their machines playing around with things they don't understand?
No ma'am.... I ain't going there!
Besides...
Peggy already warned me to keep it simple... |
