are their any "running" programs that you don't use that you can remove?

do you run all the spyware and firewall programs in the background when you aren't online?

my old compaq had a tizzy when i tried to do anything online and other programs at the same time. i would have to same web info and print it later.

i know how tight things are bob. i follow your sons journey on care cure.

I'd like to be able to junk almost all the AOL crap. I'm convinced that is what is my problem-mainly. I've tried to stop it from loading at startup, but it keeps coming back. I'm seriously debating about ditching it and going to aother ISP, now that I can keep my address book (real big and non- exportable, I've tried) and email addy.

I'm not sure, thsat's an idea, if I can figure out how to halt it without having to reboot before I go back on-line (ZA is like that)

I know, I try to keep a 'junk' wordpad file open to copy & paste into, so I can retrieve it later, after I go off.

Thank you for your concern.
He's doing better but we still have to watch over him like hawks. And the daily travel, gas, restaurant/cafeteria food, items he needs, etc- is draining the immediate cash flow lately. I'm also a bit weary, gotta take this weekend off and go out of town-and get some R&R. Six to 7 days/nites, a week at the hospital since Sept 3rd, has taken a little bit out of this 'ole man.
