Hi David,
thanks a lot for posting that message. My friend's computer is so messed up. 
A lot of it has to do with the fact that she doesn't know what she is doing, 
and there for not keeping up with her updates, but she has Pal Talk on her 
system. I'm planning on going over t o house to fix up her computer, but now 
that I read your post on Pal Talk I now can tell her she needs to remove 
paltalk. It doesn't make sense for me to do all this fixing up if only to 
have pal talk put the stuff I take out back into her pc right? Thanks again 
for that post.
