Actually, I'm pretty calm, it just burns me when people like you jump in
and make really stupid suggestions before reading the whole thread first
to see what has already been tried.
I've been using computers for over 20 years, and I'm smart enough to try
telling the program not to start first, yet you assumed I was just some
idiot that didn't know how to run a computer, and gave your idiotic
suggestion that I uncheck the box that starts the screensaver. duuuhhhh.....
