Hi Eleanor,
Glad you are up and running again. As an extra precaution I would also do
the following:
*. Run a full anti virus scan.
*. Run Super anti spyware.
*. Run Malwarebytes freeware malware scan.
Paul.

Flor when I looked at the dates, I decided for luck to choose my Birthday 20
February and now I am up and running again. It has been bad for so long and
I have b een scared to do this System Restore. Now I am holding my breath
and cannot believe the change. I have not wanted to report back for a
couple of days but that said it was driving me mad every 30 minutes and less
so maybe I will be able to relax tomorrow.
Now given that Paul recommended that I do not touch anything while the
process is taking place and he also said it would take about 10 minutes. I
would like to say that it took approximately 2 minutes and of course I had
forgotten that I would be left without speech and magnification but I
managed to read the screen with my magnifier. Was unsure as it had taken
such a short time for the process. Then I went to listen to a radio
programme just now and found that I had to reinstall Flash 10.2 again and
again thanks to Paul I had stored away the link for it that he gave out on
the list. All working fine so far and I could enjoy the radio programme
just now.
Thanks a million Paul and everyone.
Eleanor
