I'll act on your latest suggestions, but first how would you suggest I take Lexmark and Webcam out of the picture?I'd prefer not to uninstall them..... And I'll run the AT command, but I don't recognize it. I'll do as you say as soon as I hear from you, but first, this morning's test: What I have: disabled Viewpoint Mgr and WIA, my phone line was unplugged, Error Reporting and Event Log set to Automatic, and then what I thought was Clean Boot, and ran for 3.5 hours.... during which *no* events of any kind were to be found in the events log. This threw me, but it's what I saw. Now I will have lunch, followed by what you ask (including clarification of 'AT' please).

First I'll Clean Boot, then net start and tasklist, > make sure there are no scheduled tasks...... Okay, John, but the plot has thickened. First, there are no scheduled tasks. I looked. I don't allow them, ever. I'm an I-want-control man. Now I made a long run on Clone with, I think, everything you and I were trying to do, and maybe I disabled something that I shouldn't have. Please look at the following files (you'll know what they are) and I think the main thing they show is that I disabled some automatic time check for the first time. I'm not sure where. But I glean nothing more from these. And the one Event Log that you see, is the only one of those logs with anything pertinent there. I'll paste in the files here. > Type Date Time Source Category Event User Computer > Error 3/30/2010 9:49:49 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 9:49:49 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 9:04:44 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 9:04:44 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 8:49:44 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 8:49:44 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 8:03:26 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 8:03:26 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 7:48:26 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 7:48:26 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 7:01:58 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 7:01:58 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 6:46:58 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 6:46:58 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 6:00:39 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 6:00:39 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 5:45:39 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 5:45:39 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 4:59:21 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 4:59:21 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 4:44:21 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 4:44:21 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 3:58:03 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 3:58:03 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 3:43:04 PM W32Time None 29 N/A COMPAQ-2006 > Error 3/30/2010 3:43:04 PM W32Time None 17 N/A COMPAQ-2006 Event Type: Error Event Source: W32Time Event Category: None Event ID: 29 Date: 3/30/2010 Time: 9:49:49 PM User: N/A Computer: COMPAQ-2006 Description: The time provider NtpClient is configured to acquire time from one or more time sources, however none of the sources are currently accessible.

William; What firewall are you using? If not the Windows firewall you may not be able to synchronize your time. Check in control panel 'Date and Time' and use 'tick.usno.navy.mil' as the time server. By default the time is synced once a week. But with another firewall-----????????? When this is finally solved I'll bet it turns out to be Norton Anti Virus.. "William B.
