AskWoody PlusTry disabling all startup programs and non-MS services (msconfig) Then if you are able to boot normally, start re-enabling in groups to narrow down the possible offending program.

AskWoody PlusSerious question. Why do people supposedly like Disqus? One of my server providers moved to it years ago and basically dropped their forum. To me, it was somewhat confusing and stunk. Haven’t been there in years and have no plans to go back.

AskWoody PlusWe had T-Mobile. If I sent a link in a text to some “conservative” websites it never arrived to the recipients whether they were on T-Mobile or other services. No failure notice or anything on my end. I tested numerous times over about a month. Strange, eh???
