For what it is worth, and on the assumption that your computer was restarted multiple times during the troubleshooting process, I can only speculate and due to a lack of data it would be more of a W.A.G. than speculation.
  1. Bad Kharma (high on my list of suspects smile )
  2. a startup item that either got turned off or updated somewhere along the line.
  3. A task, running in the background that eventually concluded
  4. a background task that was automatically updated without your noticing
  5. a corrupted scratch file that eventually got overwritten or replaced


Now maybe you can explain to me why H&R Block and one or two other apps refuse to update so i have to download and install the full app every time. mad confused


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
