After driving myself crazy trying to figure things out for myself, I finally threw in the towel and called the computer expert in the family: my brother in law. He always seems to know exactly what to do with any technical upset on my system. If I can’t hack it, he surely can. He took one look at the things that were going on and immediately suggested a complete registry cleaner. He knew that I used the computer a lot and was online, and figured that it had gotten really bogged down with junk. It seems so, because it’s working much better now.
