Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. Does anybody have any tricks to where I could speed up my computer which uses Vista?

However, 1 suggestion was given to me, to go into msconfig, which I did, and I was told, "use selective startup, because fewer things will start up, causing your computer to boot faster." What they didn't tell me is, when you set your computer to the selective startup setting, you completely, lose audio, and folks, I lost every bit of audio, no screen reader, no windows music, no audio from cds, nothing! Fortunately, my friend Dave, who is also on this list by the way, came over, and he has, thank God, enough sight to see the screen. So, he said, "Harry, I'm gonna go into msconfig", and when he got there, I told him, "you see where it is set to selective startup?" "Sure do", he said." I told him, "can you put it back to normal startup?" "Sure thing", he said, "I'll do it for ya, right now!" Now folks, I didn't know if it would fix the problem or not, however, he put it in normal startup, then applyed it, and clicked ok, and restarted the computer. And folks, wonderfully, I heard my windows music, and then jaws! So, first, a huge thank you to you Dave, and of course I already told ya that, inn person, but I wanted to say it here, on the list! Secondly, whatever you do folks, *DO NOT*, and I mean do not, use selective startup, because if you do, you'll have the same problem I had, with no windows music, no audio of any kind. Just trying to save people some stress and fear. Harry
