| I'm running out of PCs to post messages with. It seems like I get a few
| weeks of messages with each PC. I'm finally down to my laptop and yesterday
| after I installed 4 updates I wasn't able to post here anymore. I did a total
| wipe out of my hard drive and now it's like factory new. Wiped the hard drive
| clean and now this thing is running like a fine tuned race car. This Dell
| 9400 was bogging down to the point where I couldn't close a webpage and half
| the time I'd get an error message saying report or don't report and the other
| half time I'd have to go into Task Manager to end the program. I'd try to
| maximize here and only half the page would max out and the program would stop
| responding. Now I am running great and I recommend to anyone having the same
| problems to do the same thing after backing up their important data.
