Hi Khai-J-Bach,

   I went for a walk to clear my head and just got back.

I followed your instructions.

It is running in Safe Mode now for 5 minutes.

The mose is still freezing intermittantly.

When the mouse is not frozen the keyboard seems to be working.

I will let it run for 1/2 hour.

It is now 4:29 my time.

I really appreciate your help and everyone else's.

cheerio
