Thanks for the additional help. When Iget to stpe #3 of your additional
instructions, and try double-clicking sysclean_fe link it does nto get me to
a menu or allow me to choose. It just shuts down my system with the
following message:
"Trend Pattern File not found on the system. Shutting down so you can run
sysclean_fe to obtain the pattern file." FYU I use Firefox. So, I followed
steps 1 and 2 to the letter, and this is what happened.
Thanks.
