Problem solved. In spite of the fact that I continually recommend folks not
use registry cleaners, I realized that all problems stemmed from the time
that the c: drive was replaced. The Maxtor program that copied the contents
of the old and restored to the new screwed up 632 registry entries. I let it
Registry First Aid repair all.


Thanks to all that took the time to read this.
