Someone on here I thought was helping me in several posts back he has a photo on his avatar the older white man wonder where he is?

I did not follow up on your problem as you seemed to be preoccupied with PA Bear.

Your Event Viewer report from 4 days ago suggests that the original problem may be resolved. I would need to see a later copy of your Event Viewer System log to see whether there are any remaining problems to be addressed.

You have an unrelated problem highlighted by this report.

Log Name:      System

Source:        Microsoft-Windows-PNRPSvc

Date:          06/10/2014 19:15:11

Event ID:      102

Level:         Error

Description:

The Peer Name Resolution Protocol cloud did not start because the creation of the default identity failed with error code: 0x80630801.

Solution:

Researched the problem and found the solution. A file was corrupted and deleting it got the PNRP service running.  The file was recreated correctly when the PNRP service started up.  Here's the file for future reference:

"C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking\idstore.sst"

    the error happened way before I had both MSE & Norton's installed. But now I prefer Norton's

    1. When (exact dates) were KB2977629 & KB2973112 installed according to Installed Updates?
    2. Only one (1) anti-virus application or security suite should be installed and loading at boot. Do you want to stick with the CenturyLink/Norton freebie or Microsoft Security Essentials?  [PICK ONE]

    Answer-by-number:

    1. Are KB2977629 & KB2973112 both listed in Installed Updates now?
    2. Can you successfully upgrade to Flash Player v15.0.0.167 (or higher) by opening Internet Explorer ONLY to this page? => http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash
    • BEWARE any pre-checked options to "drive-by" install unwanted, third-party software (e.g., Google Toolbar; Google Chrome)!
    1. Is Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 listed in Update History?
    2. Are you still getting 80072F8F errors when you attempt to run manual checks for updates and/or install updates?
