Both Jim and Steve are correct. Doing a clean install will most likely avoid any problems that we are having.
Since I am not a computer guru I had my husband read Steve's response the other day and he was in agreement. That is why we are not returning it or throwing the baby out with the bathwater, et cetera. We have seen that it works pretty good - just not the way we did it by NOT doing a clean install as it become so laborious to have to reinstall so many programs and we have a mega amounts of them.
