Good Morning All, My 'puter has been offline for 9 days with a software conflict. I finally had to reload everything in order to resolve the problem. My newest operating system (XP Home Edition) didn't get along well with a utility I've used a lot for several years... (Classic Clipboard) The solution is ... Classic Clipboard is gone forever! Enter Winm8 Version 2.01, my New Must-Have Clipboard and Organizer http://winm8.com/winm8/winm8.htm I first thought my problems were GuruNet which I tried just before my problems began... Take a look... http://www.gurunet.com/ GuruNet is also terrific and was not the problem... just added to the symptom... Classic Clipboard, which I have used through Windows '95 and '98, was a borderline cause of crashes with Windows XP and the popup GuruNet just added to the conflict apparently. I now have a stable 'puter again. Winm8 is even better than Classic Clipboard. I didn't e-mail for 9 days just in case there was some rogue trojan or virus but I have PC-cillin, Norton and AVG and tried scanning all files (one antivirus program at a time, of course) and there was never a hint of any problem of that nature... It's a Jungle out there! Can't be too careful! cheers ......... murray * * * Murray Charters <[log in to unmask]> http://www.geocities.com/murraycharters/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
