I suggest taking it to a reputable computer shop. Call around first and try to get a feel for a small reputable tech. Someone with tools can probably have it sorted out in under an hour which shouldn't cost too much. Did you try Carbon's advice, repeated by me in post 8? Thanks for your response! I forgot to mention that I have booted in Safe Mode and ran antivirus and malware scanners and cleaned up the startup programs.

However, outside of Safe Mode, the hourglass idling over the taskbar with no functionality still continues Any advice? What is new or different since the last time everything worked properly ie, new hw, new sw, virus, error, etc? Allan: Nothing on my system is new since the last time it worked property. No new hw, sw, virus, or errors. This just started happening out of the blue. Rebooted and it did not fix the issue. What is the best way to check the device manager for updates and issues?
