GX1_Man,
Please know that yes it has been awhile, however, remember if you will please, that I have been using the computer for years and never really realized how important maintenace was, I was forced financially, and was not able to reconnect with my ISP, after serveral months I broke out my laptop and in desperation to re-connect my communications with the gov. to submit tech disclosures, to USDHLS, for the reason of procurement solicitations, (not to get personal), I selected AOL because they offered a 90 free trial and I could get back on line, . .
attempting to do that I DL'ed aol service to the laptop and it went zilcho, if you recall, . . .
I then went out to the garage where I am now, and stretched a line across the lawn to the telephone box and got back on using my desk top, where I at one time had my own box T-connection, . .since that time, . .
I have had the box re-installed and the line across the lawn is no longer used.
I then encountered the trojan problem I did not know I had and that was about the time, I arrived here, and we all met.
Now, before you start divvieing out the solutions, which I believe you have done gracefully, . .I need to tell you that it is apparent, that prior to installing either SP2 or Computer Firewall, virus protection and
malware protections, namely from AOL,(at this time I am going to need to upgrade my RAM, . . .
Therefore, I realize your desires to resolve these issues, of which I will always be greatful, and hope that there may befall me a way to express my gratitude.
Until then let me find out what my computer specs are so that I can hopefully install the RAM update as apparently is needed, which I did not think that I would need, since I have recently, Restored the BIOS.
ASAP I will get myself to Staples, and I will buy the RAM update, and for your piece of mind I will keep my communication in the Off Topics, as much as possible.
and therefore possibly make you a happier person !!
