logged on via werk laptop, as I'm sick of restarting the other one ...
Ran three tests: one when I had everything up and running and was freshly logged on, one when the 'encountered an error, haha' message came up, and one when it'd finished error reporting and disconnected me.
A process called dwwin was running on test 2 but not on 1 or 3. Also on test 2, there was a very busy svchost process with lots of Things. By test 3, that had gone, as had dwwin -- but dwwin had been replaced, in terms of position in list, by a stripped-down version of svchost running fewer things.
Am very much inclined to either scrap it or go for full reinstall at some stage, especially as all my data is now backed up. Given probably-limited cash, what do you recommend? Main uses: LJ, The Interweb, a bit of multimedia, Word&Excel&Access. And I could live without Access these days.
Sleeeep now. thank you ever so for all your support! I know it's not working but I've given it a fair shot.
