Hello, everyone.
As some of you may recall, I had been having multiple problems with my main Windows 7 home computer. As a result of the many very helpful suggestions that I have received from a number of list members, both on and off list, I think I have finally gotten the computer back up and running. First, with the help of an I T technician from my University, Malwarebytes has been installed and run several times. As a result, I believe I have now finally gotten rid of those audio clips that were randomly appearing from time to time. Regarding my Outlook 2010 issue, where Outlook was often not launching correctly, and Jaws was extremely sluggish, I conpacted the .pst Outlook data file. As some had warned, this took very long, but that file is now much more manageable in size. Specifically, it has been reduced from its original 10 gig size to approximately 730 megabytes. In addition, based on a suspicion that my A V G anti-virus software was conflicting with Outlook, I uninstalled that program, and have gone to the free version of Avast, at least for now. This seems to work well, and does not appear to be creating any issues of concern. In fact, Outlook, Avast, and Jaws seem to play very nicely together. I still have a few things to decide: 1. Do I continue with the free version of Avast, or purchase the more robust program? 2. Do I try to delete Outlook add-ins, and the journal, or just leave well enough alone for now?; and 3. How often do I want to schedule the compacting of that Outlook PST file that gave me all the trouble? Anyway, I'm making progress now, and appreciate all of the help that I have received regarding the difficulties I was having. Sincerely, Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
