These little issues just started to happen after I wanted 3D to work on my computer. And probably did a few stupid things. Plus the fact Mercury was in retrograde (LOL) - After today, that's not a factor. Since I only have the 2 problems, I will not do a reinstall except for PSP 9 and Open Office. They seem to be all that was affected by my dogged determination to have 3D work on my computer. The idea of "wipe and re-install" sends shivers down my spine. But I have to admit this last month, though aggravating, made me get off my tush and have my computer updated. It now has 4 GBs of RAM, a new 750 watt power supply, 750 GB hard drive installed and 1100 fonts narrowed down to about 60. Still was cheaper than buying a new machine which would have had Vista on it. So now I'm good for another year or two. This will give MS time to get all the kinks out of Windows 7 before I have a new computer built.

I was just teasing you a little. But there IS truth in the fact that you often taken some of the ideas we offer and use them to work out the rest yourself. I've always felt that the primary role of support groups like this is to make it so that its members get to a point where they don't need the group anymore, so I see your ever growing self-tech abilities as worthy of public praise. :) As far as the other problems are concerned, it may be time to consider a backup/wipe/reinstall. When I start seeing lots of little issues cropping up, it's usually a sign that the OS has become overly fatigued. When that happens, it often means a reinstall of the OS is actually easier and much more productive than trying to fix all of the little issues (especially when the fixes often lead to yet more issues). Just something to consider.
