Mike,
Thanks for giving me info and I will consider it
carefully. I wonder if you have any information on why I
no longer have access to system restore. As I said it is
not available to properties and cannot use as error
message:
THE PROCEDURE ENTRY POINT REMOTE ASSISTANCE
PREPARESYSTEMRESTORE COULD NOT BE LOCATED IN THE DYNAMIC
LINK LIBRARY WINSTA.DLL.
SO BEFORE I install my op again I would appreicate any
suggestions. I was told to remove it on the drives but
since I cannot access it the usual way how should i
proceed? Also I gather you dislike Nortons for one reason
or another but do you use there anti virus at least? If
not why and why programs to you use for antivirus and
firewall? I have internet security and just wonder before
the new version comes out. I would like the best for the
buck so anything free or cheaper than the big names since
they always make us pay for the next version and it can
stop our grocery shopping now and then just to pay for
suppose nessary stuff so I think you know your stuff so
please give me a email either at this site or my email at
outlook.
Thanks Much,
Deerlady
