FB - You might think you're providing helpful information but I can't make
hide nor hair of your issue.
Please be specific. What specifically is broken? What specifically do you
want to fix?
What specifically have you done to the computer between the time of your
original post and now?
Please, just provide facts so we can be helpful.
