Thanks much, but I obviously SCREWED UP BIG TIME. I have Windows XP by the way.

I clicked START, I selected SEARCH, then it prompts me to select files, folders, images, ???????????????

So I selected files (because I didn't know what else to do)

I typed in Scheduler

A whole bunch of things popped up, the first being TaskScheduler.dll (I even know what dll means, it means dynamic link library, but don't ask me what the heck that means anyway. lol

So after choosing TaskScheduler.dll a warning popped up that said "this is connected to most of your operating systems, and it DID NOT PROMPT ME TO CONTINUE, it had another word to choose (I forget).

So do I go back and select TaskScheduler.dll, or was this the wrong thing to select?

Thanks much

Melody

I never thought of checking the Scheduled Tasks.

I had some things there that aren't needed. I just deleted them but you can change the settings if it is something you need.

Other ways to find Scheduled Tasks -

GO to Control Panel and then find Scheduled Tasks

click Start
Go to Programs and then to Accessories
then to System Tools and then Scheduled Tasks

Okay, I found SCHEDULED TASKS, by going to the Control Panel and doing what Jomar suggested.

What came up? Nothing that said anything about PC REMINDER?

I know I'm not doing something right!!!

lol

Angry that 'thing' is back again...

All I can say is :

That happened to me after I had installed an anti-malware program. So I uninstalled the program and 'it' went away. Two can play this game, you know?
