Thank you for your reply. I read through everything in that link. I am not sure what or how to help the system since it will only stay connected for 10 seconds. The system might have a download itself, but I can not do anything within the 10 seconds. I do not want to have to dump everything and start from scratch. I would be happy to go back to my previous version 11.something. I am not sure how to do that. But if anyone has a suggestion?
