Hi again. There are no red Xs or Yellow !s by any items in Device Manager.
I have a new problem, however - now I got a black screen that said it was
closing Windows to protect the computer because of BAD_POOL_CALLER. Anybody
know anything about this? All these errors are really scaring me!
Thanks for your help,
Connie C.
