Yes, I set out to battle this here lil' ol' computer this morning - and I won, at least so far.
Part of my problem is that I am still back in Windows 1 (or whatever it was), and this little babe is 7. I really had a steep learning curve to begin with. I see now there isn't all THAT much difference, and the things I have discovered that are different, I really like. The Gate*** upstairs is XP, and I miss some of the things here.
Anyway, back to my story. This morning I tried to remember what I would do to solve the infernal loop Della likes to settle into. For some reason, the was it was, it would automatically go to my name as user, and I would just log on. Now it doesn't do that. When it doesn't, the internet security program is going through all those things that want to access the internet immediately, and I have to approve them all over again. But then Della still sits and spins.
So I discovered the old "crtl-alt-del" trick. I do that immediately, and choose change user. Ok! Works. Then I shut down the internet protector. Then I am good to go.
Whatever is locked in here, I am pretty sure I will have major problems someday. I did a scan from the Mc yesterday. It came out clean. I have another I will do today, but I feel there is something nasty lurking within those chips in here.
I just wonder when it will come exploding out of the keyboard like "Alien."
Peace.

I hope you have your camera ready when this alien pops out. That picture could make you a lot of money from a tabloid newspaper!
it will probably happen when your guard is down or when you least expect it.
LOL, JuJu. I think she's on to something though.
Glad you got it fixed, at least for now. If nothing else, it gives you time to get everything off that you need.
