Hi Jim,

Didn't recognize the name until now.....but JC!, you do seem to have many
issues. I can only suggest from here without knowing 'what' you are doing
to run a repair install, and leave things alone for a bit, until you
understand them better. Or at least seek clear advice as to what you are
trying to change. Good luck!
