(I will see if the Mods will consider this for moving to the 'am I infected' section ) This post has been edited by ruby1: May 14 2008, 01:54 PM

Also, a more detailed description of the problems you're having will help us decide which way we should proceed with your computer -------------------- Mark why won't my laptop work? Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around
