Good Morning Frank.
Have followed your suggestions, including running CW Shredder, AdAware,
Spybot, Registry medic, Easy Clean, Cleaned all files and defragged HD. I am
running XP Home with SP-2. all above programs are up to date as of Nov 3.
Still getting the same results as above, including the Dr Watson bit.
Regards
Fridgeman
