Re your computer. Have you shut it off for a few minutes and then turned it back on and rebooted it. I mean totally turning off your computer taking a break and then turning it back on.

My nephew made his first computer when he was a teenager and is never unemployed. The company he works for can disappear and before he gets home, he has another job in making computers do things for us. He is the one, who told me to do this little trick. He recommends that all the older pentiums be turned off at night.

Anyway this worked great for my old computer that finally gave up the ghost. Try it and let me know.

It was off for hours during the storm. I unpluged and disconnected it from the surge protector. Then, when I left earlier, I turned it off. It seems to be running ok again. Maybe that did it.
