Glad to see you again, John. I'll act on your latest suggestions, but
first how would you suggest I take Lexmark and Webcam out of the
picture?I'd prefer not to uninstall them.....
And I'll run the AT command, but I don't recognize it. I'll do as you
say as soon as I hear from you, but first, this morning's test:

What I have: disabled Viewpoint Mgr and WIA, my phone line was
unplugged, Error Reporting and Event Log set to Automatic, and
then what I thought was Clean Boot, and ran for 3.5 hours....
during which *no* events of any kind were to be found in the
events log. This threw me, but it's what I saw. Now I will have lunch,
followed by what you ask (including clarification of 'AT' please).

AT will simply let you see if you have any Scheduled Tasks.

And I'd like to run it... but where, what's its syntax? I can
look at Start>>Control Panal>>Scheduled Tasks to make sure it
is empty.... I'll start the 3-hour run now, assuming I find
it empty. First I'll Clean Boot, then net start and tasklist,
make sure there are no scheduled tasks......

Okay, John, but the plot has thickened. First, there are no
scheduled tasks. I looked. I don't allow them, ever. I'm
an I-want-control man.

Now I made a long run on Clone with, I think, everything you
and I were trying to do, and maybe I disabled something that I
shouldn't have. Please look at the following files (you'll know what
they are) and I think the main thing they show is that I disabled
some automatic time check for the first time. I'm not sure where.
But I glean nothing more from these. And the one Event Log that
you see, is the only one of those logs with anything pertinent there.

I'll paste in the files here.

It's getting kind of lengthy, but I know you want to see it.
Did I do something wrong? What should I restore?
From: Unknown on
William; What firewall are you using? If not the Windows firewall you may
not be able to synchronize your time.
Check in control panel 'Date and Time' and use 'tick.usno.navy.mil' as the
time server.
By default the time is synced once a week. But with another
firewall-----?????????
When this is finally solved I'll bet it turns out to be Norton Anti Virus..
