If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
working. Any workaround? I can download using other machines, but no
Anti-malware stuff can be installed and run under Normal startup. I can run
Spybot under Safe mode, found nothing. But back to Normal boot, still the
same problem.
Fresh rebuild? - do you mean install a fresh copy of Windows other than
Repair? That will erase all my program files.
Thanks again.
