Thx Mr. Jimjim1:
Yes, I have done some of the chkdsk procedures and found nothing wrong.
The PC is healthy overall, and with the attention and cleaning/updates it has gotten the last few days, it seems reasonable fast for its age.
After Norton was fired yesterday it seems perhaps a tad better as well.
I don’t have Great needs as a gamer, or with advanced video graphics, but wife is an artist and spends time in front of the PC downloading videos and sometimes watching the news. If the performance is less than stellar, I get to hear about it and hints are being dropped that I should fix it..
The iPads are being used more than the desktop PC these days and a new video card is probably not urgent, but I like my toys to work good, as the ads for the US Army says: “Be all you can be”.
Will try again to find a reasonable priced video card in town and install it. Had good intentions yesterday but got side tracked by a six pack of beer.
