Sandy, did you perform a scan? My wife and I did and when the scan was
complete she attempted to have the program make the necessary changes
and she was prompted to pay for the program.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14 A .
11 For I know the plans I have for you," says the
Lord. "They are plans for good and not for
disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In
those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If
you look for me in earnest, you will find me when
you seek me. 14 I will be found by you," says the Lord.
