4. CORBan + chrOMITE = CORBOMITE

Oh, my goodness, oldbroad! I am so sorry if I made you mad. I most definitely do not expect you to know all the terminology. But that's exactly why I clarified that everything I found pointed to a potential faulty network driver. It appears your network itself provided by your ISP is just fine. All this is confusing enough, so it's important that we are both talking about the same thing.

That is your motherboard. I went to the ASRock website and entered your model and looked up available drivers. I just can't tell for sure if any of them are for your Intel Ethernet Connection. However, I did find drivers that that particular ethernet version at the Intel website. You could try downloading that driver and then try updating it again.

Disk cleanup and defrag are long gone! I remember watching those little blocks fill in for what seemed like hours like I was mesmerized! Checkdisk with the /f qualifier is supposed to fix any bad sectors it might find. And even if there are no bad sectors, 30 seconds is much too fast.

To be honest, I'm at a standstill here. I spent a couple of hours this morning researching this and this is the best that I can provide. Some of the fixes are a bit complicated and I know you don't like to get too technical with your computer. It just might be best to take it to your local computer repair shop. You have worked hard to try to get to the bottom of this and I know it must be frustrating.

Thanks, Marian!

I did think that seemed awfully fast

Still doesnt work. Busy now, but I will re-boot and see what happens

I am also not having a problem.

No sign in problems here.

Only # 4 left

4. 4/6 of a sacrifice made to God plus 5/8 of a black sub-metallic mineral

Hint #1: Kirk fabricates a fictional substance to bluff the enemy (alien).

Hint #2: The Enterprise came across a buoy of sorts that would not let it pass. They destroy the buoy and then find themselves confronted with an unknown alien who accuses them of trespassing and tells them they have only 10 minutes to live.

Happy Wednesday everyone. It is dreary and overcast here, outside and in. I'm hoping to gather some energy to cook some Lamb Chops that have been in my freezer for a year. That's about it!

Surely NO ONE can be this "broad in the beam" !!

So I went to Big Fish, found myself signed out. Clicked on Sign In - and - nothing. Y'know, it's just always sumthin'
