Thank You Analog-X64.. And one more edit to say that I haven't used that cleaner before. I used to use I orbits but it quit working when I installed McAfees..

Well..  I know that I posted something about getting it fixed earlier today.  Either I was dreaming or just clicked on preview & never went on to submit.  Or maybe I'm just losing my mind completely.

Anyway.. I fixed it with the vcredist_x86 file

I'm thinking that one of the updates that I hadn't installed before must have been the problem. I checked them & saw several that looked like they were making the pc compatible with Windows 7. Or not.. I've been wrong before..  But it's working & I'm back to being a happy Bryce camper..
