Howdy fellas,
Thx for the replies. Regarding installing anti-virus protection...that's kinda what started this whole thing. I tried to install Norton antivirus and it wouldn't install properly. Tried to 'uninstall' it to 'reinstall' it and that basically started a slow landslide.....
Anyway, I've got Grisoft's AVG for now.
Just tryin' to catch up on a few things I left "hangin", like Grumpy's kind offer of his LCM (I'll get with you ASAP Dave

; ).
And, I'm glad Helga misses me too.......BTW, how's her 'scratch' coming along?
Tread.
EDIT: Great....while I was typing this Gunnie and HalfYank piped in..........thx go to you guys as well :-)
This is indeed the second time for a 'crash'.......my computer is a little old (not as old as you Halfyank), but old enough. Was planning on buying a new one from Dell maybe, but I (once again) only had the time to patch this one again.........
Besides, I am really looking for a HOT new model to elevate my gaming abilities..........plan on 'fraggin' a bunch of you blokes on the Armorama 'Game Nights' .......heheheheheeee.....
