You are truly a wizard! Thank you SO VERY much. I'm very grateful!it's so much easier by webchat, my brain works far faster than my fingers and i sometimes miss putting down my last thoughts but my mouth work just as quick [sometimes quicker than my brain or so the wife says]

remove all the usb's so you just have the basic lappy, and re boot.. this is to see if it fails to close down and re-start, then i will give you some terminal codes to run to check the machine out
