NOT NEW, just "recycled"......

Tried to download an "update" on the laptop, instead, downloaded a batch of viruses.......  Laptop to the computer-hospital, updated to windows-11, google chrome, etc., etc., etc.  When I tried to get back on the forum, no go.....  Our monitors are now stuck working on the problem.  All this to say:  BE CAREFUL when you're doing updates!!!!!  Not everything is as innocent as it appears!!!!

DJ, if you are unable to reset your password on the original account, contact @Dave Ambrose and he will reset anything that needs to be reset and also merge your old and new account.  This should be easy and painless for you. Admins do not like members having multiple accounts.

In the Forum rules you'll find the following statement:
Only one account per user/IP is allowed. Any attempt to create additional accounts, for any reason whatsoever, will result in the banning of the IP, deletion of the account(s), and all topics and/or posts that were submitted to the forum.
