I guess I should provide more info on what I've done, or am doing; and on my hardware.
I've run scandisk in Thorough mode; I do that about once per month; I defrag weekly;
and I have a UPS (I'm an old Navy trained electronics tech; so I have a deep appreciation
for stable power sources; my basic computer is a Dell 4100, PIII, 1 gig; but with
a lot of upgrades, including a PC Power and Cooling 360 power supply).
The BSOD's seem to have stopped; but still no Open option-just search.
I haven't checked the Hijack This's log-I have Browser Hijack Blaster; I'll download
Hijack This, and see what comes up.
I suspect that, somehow, somewhere, I may have mistakenly or accidentally changed
a preference setting-but I don't know where; I've checked Folders and Options, and
haven't found anything that seems incorrect.
Any ideas on what settings I may have screwed up?
TIA-and for suggestions already given; if there is more system info that would help,
please let me know.
