I just don't think it's spyware/adware. The only two sites I couldn't open were the one thread on the board, and orbitz.com. It was acting a little funny before that (freezing in a most un-XP kind of way, more like the cursed Win 98 manner). Also, Cntl+Alt+Delete wasn't bringing up the task manager.

Ahhh ... fugit. Used Windows & restored it back as far as it would let me and it STILL did it.

Just to complete the "having a day of it" ... the system restore disks they sent me were corrupt, so they are FedExing me a new set. Of course, they weren't determined to be corrupt until disk 5 of 5 - so now there is nothing on the HD.

Note to self - get some non-rewriteable CDs next time you are at wallymart. When the PC asks you if you want to create backup cds, it wouldn't write them to rewriteable disks.

Ah, well ... all the work I did on the new PC is backed up to this one.

At least the Cardinals won and the White Sox are winning ...

Morgan, thank you. I'm sure glad it's not because I said anything caustic. Been trying to quit that ...
