Thank you Tiffinay on your well written response to the Helpers...

Perhaps i was a bit harsh and judgemental in my response...for that i apologise.

I hope you find a quick resolution to your issue...

patio.And, thanks much patio, for your understanding. Tiffany - I'm GOING to delete the post with the logs - they take up a lot of space and I really didn't want to see them. Please go ahead and run the memory & hd diagnostics as described in my post above.Hi Allan,

Yes, of course, no worries. I wasn't SURE if you wanted to see that or not and thought it best to err on the side of TMI.

Mem test DONE. Attached should be a screenshot of the results. Tests passed 100%.

Will get you the other test soon.

Thanks much,

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]How much free space is on this HDD ? ?Hey there,

My APOLOGIES for letting this drop off. I'm afraid I was quite ill for several weeks and couldn't even think about using a computer, much less dig around and try and fix this issue. Though I'm on the mend now, I am handing the investigation of my computer's quirkiness off to someone else for now and will not be troubling you all by pursuing it further here.

I truly appreciate all you've done for me here and in the past. Thank you to all the volunteer Helpers, and I wish you all a wonderful new year and the very best of health, always.

~ TSame to you...

Get better...and Enjoy the Holidays...
