Hi Joyce, I won't be any help, but since I have had all these same issues I wonder if it is a malady peculiar to us old gals? Or artists? (I am that too), If we find the common thread maybe we should collaborate on a book or something!!! Sorry gang, couldn't resist. Hugs to all, Rae I'm curious Joyce, did you recently install a Windows OE patch?
