Polonus,
Agreed.
As I have mentioned before, I don’t post much, but I enjoy reading here every day. Often, I see where people are so hung up on keeping the box clean, that they install everything they can find.
I wonder sometimes how they can actually find time to do anything except run all the programs they have installed. And of course, conflicts between programs are common. I worry that people who are new to all this, just start installing stuff, because they read it here in various threads.
A few good layered products, and a strict routine, will cover most potential problems.
In the rare instance that I do run into a problem (usually following links in something that caught my interest), I’m so attuned to how my computer works, I can hear it chugging when something installs. I then start running programs until I figure out what happened. Same with you, I would guess.
Take care.
