which program did you dwonload? just curious. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara Wilson To: Access-UK Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 2:19 PM Subject: [access-uk] PC getting better! Hi All If anyone has been following my ramblings about a poorly computer, then you will be glad to know I have somehow fixed some of the problems with no need to reinstall Windows. At least none of the problems have presented themselves today and a whole day without any issues is a plus. I searched for the problem on Google and downloaded a free program. I then had to pay a small charge for the registration and after running this my shutdown and program not responding issues seem to have disappeared. It found and fixed 1731 problems on the hard drive! Before this however I was noticing that my CD/DVD drive had stopped showing up in My Computer, even with a disc inserted. This started yesterday, so has nothing to do with this latest download and repair. Anyone any ideas why this has happened and is there anything I can do about it? Barbara
