You're welcome, Scott. Now, keep in mind, I am not a technical person, I'm a
manager type, so whatever I now say should be taken accordingly. I was
getting into a similar loop as you and have decided to uninstall PP and
Visio. I then ran CC Cleaner (free software) to clean the registry and then
Advanced System Optimizer for general principle. I next ran another free app
(diskeeper) to defrag the page file and everything else.
I am now back to a 'clean' position. I have emailed the folks at Smart
Computing to see if they can come up with any solution. If that fails, I will
next call Microsoft, as I am still within my 90 day window for free service
calls.
If all that produces any results, I'll be sure to post it here.
Good luck, Buddy. we're in this together <g>!!
