Seand,
You are most welcome. You have been most gracious, yourself! :slight_smile:
As Vlk pointed out, my tinkerings really didn’t affect any vital settings on my computer. (I had to re-read his clarifications and believe it or not, I understood them. ;D)
So, my quest continues on what could have caused my problem, will it happen again, and what can I do to prevent it. Methinks, I need guidance on what my Avast settings (home version) need to be set on for my OS (Win98SE) to perform at its optimum.

Suggestions are most welcome!

Have a great day. :slight_smile:
