Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

David, Thanks for the advice. I will remember the tips for the AV software.
I wanted to let you know that I found a solution to the problem. It turns
out I am not alone. I found a thread from 8/15 concerning problems after an
update. The thread title is "Issue After Windows Update". Dave Patrick had
the solution. It turns out it was a problem with my APC software. After I
upgraded it, everything started working. Thanks.
