I'm really glad that worked for you. Yes, restoring to factory condition is
probably a good idea since the system isn't really perfect, but at least
you were able to easily back up. Now create and implement a backup
strategy! A Good Thing to do is purchase an external hard drive and Acronis
True Image. After you get your system set up perfectly, image it with TI
and store the image on the external hard drive. TI also does incremental
backups. The advantage is that you can restore your system to working order
the way *you* like it - not the way the computer mftr. set it up - in
minutes rather than many hours.

Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know things are better for
you now.
