| I had a quick look at the start up log - and nothing in there. Will examine the
| add/remove section next time, and then I'll look for spyware/malware.
| Unfortunately due to the time of year, time is severely limited.
|
| Just thought I would give an update.
|
| The computer is usable - so it's not urgent although the owners have not reported any
| more flashes across the screen since I cleared the TIF etc.
|
| It's a possibility it could be a hardware problem locking up the computer. Once I
| eliminate the obvious, it can go back to the dealer in the New Year as it's under
| warranty - it's less than 3 months old.
|
| When the computer was locking up, they were manually turning off - ran chkdsk which
| seemed to improve things a little - there were quite a few errors.
|
| Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
|
| Will report back when I've had a chance to further investigate.

OK Kaylene. Happy Holidays to you and I'll see 'ya on the rebound.
