Title: A computer question from one that is techno-challenged Post by: PaunchyBald on January 05, 2008, 09:01:36 AM Background first
Windows XPhome w/SP 2 - AVG 7.5 -CCleaner -popupblocker -and a couple of others To properly install some updates I turned off the computer last night and re-booted this am. Now I have this blue box in the center of my screen that won't go away. It says, Please wait while checking system configuration... How do I get that annoying blue box to dissapear?
