Great to hear Cherokee! I had written a note to post last night when I got home (After I resent your download info.) but I found that I no longer had the basic (but crucial)cut/copy and paste function. It seems to be non-existent on my OS.

I immediately went to my Norton Anti Virus program to download live update to scan my system for a potential virus/worm (which I do AT LEAST every Friday when I do a full virus scan) but got an error message: "LU1803 unable to dowload at this time".

I then went into my e-mail and was unable to send or EVEN CREATE a mail doc. All I got was an error message: "not enough memory". (NOT Virtual Memory, mind you.. MEMORY!) Since I had nothing else open on my system but OE6, I knew that was impossible. So...

Since my hard disk is getting pretty close to it's full capacity, I thought I might do a little house cleaning then at least defrag my system (which I do about every 1-2 weeks.) Well, when I went to my Program Manager to see what I might be able to live without (remove) it opened a big empty box for me! Isn't that special? All my programs are still on my system, I'm just not able to uninstall anything. The first sign or weridness started yesterday. I got an error message that I'd NEVER SEEN before, and that was not specific to any program I happened to be in, OR EVEN KNOW OF! This occurred periodically throughot the day, but was very random. It didn't matter if I was in Photoshop, MS Word, OE6 e-mail, it just showed up and read: svc host.exe has generated errors and will be shut down. It didn't always necessarily shut down the program I was in either. But the thing that bothers me most about it is that I have no idea what svc host even is?!?!? Anyone know? It feels like a virus to me, reminiscent of the Klez virus I got a long time ago.... so I'm freaking out a little. I can't even get anything to download from the Symantec site, nor can I give an accurate report to Symantec since the form they have you fill out has drop down menus to select from and ALL of these boxes are blank! I'm hitting a wall with every turn.

I was able to run a chkdsk /f from the dos promt... and that helped. For about 5 minutes I was at least able to cut and paste. But that soon went away.

I'd appreciate ANY info that might help me here. I'm feeling a little crippled and I don't get it"... I'm so good about "wearing protection"! ;(

Thanks Guys!
Pam
