Hello,

I am actually a pilates and aerobics instructor, and new to the forums and all, straight from Northern Virginia! I am glad to be here- a bit frazzled and confused, but glad.

I stumbled on this forum because I have some pretty bad computer problems. I'm not sure what's up, but hopefully, I'll hear from someone who might be able to help and "dumb down that answer" for lack of a better description! pullhair.gif

It's my birthday next week, so hopefully, I'll have an answer as my birthday gift! Thanks!

Hello Dragonmaster Jay,

I'm not raining on your parade.
Just offering clarification to dross1149, same way that Essexboy did.
_________________

Though we risk confusing the original poster of a thread, in this case dross1149, sometimes a little "side-chatter" can be a good thing, and conveys interesting tidbits of information and a friendly, lively environment.

It's just a good practice to "address" the comment to the correct Member in the Thread, (in this case, to Troy) and provide clarification if you accidentally confuse the original poster.

Probably should avoid "chatter" in strictly "help" threads like Windows and Hardware, but here in Meet and Greet is a good place to present how friendly we can be.

No harm - no foul.

Doug
