-=PCTechTalk=- Re: My Documents

I have moved all of the weird files into a folder on my desktop and have 
shortened their names.  Now, I await the viewer and my new optic drive, etc.
Once I get the new drive I may try re-installing the GCF version that caused 
trouble before.  Or would that be inviting more trouble??
