Bob,
I totally understand what you are saying here. Although, this time, it did
work! It actually kind of peeved me off that the Microsoft tech that I was
emailing/talking to for what 3 hours(!) didn't suggest that I do that! And
in fact when we signed off that night when we were trying to fix the problem,
the prob wasn't even fixed yet. It wasn't until my husband or me (can't
remember) turned the laptop all the way down and rebooted that it then
started to work right again.
I didn't like having to reboot cause the time it takes to do that, but in
this instance rebooting would have taken FARRRRR LESSSSS TIMEEEE by far.
When I called back the next day I then told them that me and my husband had
fixed the problem. I had even mentioned it in the evaluation too. I think
that the tech should have had me do that in the first place, and it would
have saved me a lot of headache. As I did run into problems with trying to
remember a password.
Melissa (Thanks for thinking of me though, it did work)

No offense, Milly, but I've noticed you giving this suggestion regarding more
than one such issue. When it is a recurring problem, how happy do you think
end-users are when the suggested solution, in the middle of a busy work day,
is to reboot?
