There was a device in that location that had a yellow alert on it. I tried to update the driver, but that failed. Then I removed it as you suggest. I'll reboot and see what happens. I paid for an AVG Tuneup program and ran that yesterday, along with AVG and malwarebytes. My system is now so slow that when I try to download something I can't see that it's happening and I down load it twice, which makes it even worse. If I can't lick this thing, I'm going to replace this computer. I'm really getting sick of it wasting my time. I think I mentioned that I might get a tablet and use that exclusively for internet, while keeping this desktop dedicated to MS Office programs. Do you think that's a good idea? I might just disable the internet connection so I'll have it if I need it. Thank you very much for all your help. If you find one of those virus writers, please shoot him for me.

Well, I've been through it twice now, and I still have the problem. The device with the problem flag is a Hi Definition Audio Codec, whatever that is. My system finds it, but the hardware update fails and I cannot start it. Same result if I remove and reboot. I am getting a little piced because I operated the AVG, AVG tuneup, and Malwarebytes so I would have a faster system, and now I have a slower system with no sound. I might see if Microsoft has a device driver for it.
