I was looking at the Lenovo line, the toshi had better specs for the price. I got sucked in by that. But it's loaded with BS ware. I have also uninstalled norton. I did replace it with AVG and bottomed the slider on the uac page. If I have more trouble I'll excomunicate the start up items and security. I can still browse for pc files on the desktop pc with XP. I've often run into trouble
D L-ing suff on the mac and transfering via usb memory stick. Windows goes nuts and thinks the file is a terrorist. And that was on the XP machine. Anyway many thanks to you and Kent for moving me in the right direction.
