re: #101 Backwoods_Sleuth

nope.
The laptop isn’t my main computer. I use it mostly for Skype with MrBWS and for Dropbox board meeting videos from my boss in Illinois.
Something called the “Group Policy Client” quit working, and now the Dropbox videos won’t play (attempting to do so locks up the laptop). My Google investigations all say it’s corrupted registry file(s).
This all started out of nowhere over the weekend.

How you Windows people keep from running amok with a fire ax is beyond me….
