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"

    Right-click on your computer clock (lower right-hand corner) & select Adjust date/time | Make certain that your time, date and time-zone settings are all correct.

    I hear you but Microsoft doesn't offer free support to Consumers. (Actually, you may have "paid a lot" to your computer's manufacturer for a computer with Windows preinstalled but the manufacturer purchased Windows from Microsoft. At least that's what your lawyer will tell you.)

    Well I already did my clock and it is really a bummer when every one tells me to re do this that is good my clock nor the battery is bad at all, clock keeps time perfectly. If you read further back did that already...

    lol on comment of the lawyer...

    okay now in my update history is completely blank why? Where did they all go to? And now my Windows Update Agent 7.6.7600.320 listed in Update History is gone in installed updates too....
