You might try installing only the parts you need, virus scan etc Yeah, thought of that ... already have McAfee Virus Scan, ScanDisk, etc. Was really looking for something that checked at the root of files (resource problems, files linked and/or necessary to be linked, any problems with that - like those already pesky .dll problems), software and/or hardware conflicts, stuff like that. As I'm still new to this darn pc <G> I don't know how thorough ScanDisk is for that. On the Mac, Norton would check for all kinds of problems and would automatically fix them. Worked great on the Mac. How good is ChkDsk for this?? Have "Dr. Watson" set to run at start-up to track any problems, so at least I can tell somebody where & what they are. Knowing how to fix any problems is another story...:-) Thanks for any advice/help!
