hi

good to hear that :D


can you now post a follow up hjt log to see if there still is something lurking ....

[tashi]

frogboy still with us? :)


Towards the end of a cleanup please make sure you follow through with any final log requested even if it appears to you that your computer is back to normal operation.
As much as we like our members ;) we would rather not see you back in a few weeks because there was no follow up with the helper.
