i'm online and actually typing from the laptop in question.... thanks so
much for sticking with me...

may i ask while we're on this subject... and all of this is way to fresh
in my mind... Is there a reputable place to check which services "should
be running" in task manager...

while i know it depends which sort of programs are installed on my
toshiba laptop... there is so much conflicting information out there...

again, thanks for leading me down a happy trail...

I'm glad to see that you got things running again.

What "should be running" is somewhat subjective, it all depends on what
you do with your computer and on what you want running. You might find

"Security Task Manager" turned out to be a cousin to Antivirus 2008/2009
