ATX 12.18

[mcb39]

As I am working on extensions in the 2012 program, I am finding several improvements and enhancements in the 12.18 upgrade. FYI, so far, my creation and filing has been pretty flawless and without incident. I hadn't realized before how many changes had been made to the final version.

Of course, this is coming from a Win7 64 bit, standalone system; which never did have the massive issues that others had.

Funny you mentioned Win 7, my computer has been downloading one of those critical updates and it has been so sluggish these past few days, for last 3 days now every time I shut down I get that warning ... do not shut down bla bla.... Everything is slow from my email account, internet, word, excel that I am becoming frustrated.

I had 28 updates to Win 7 when I shut down last night. I have had some odd stuff going on also. Seems much better today.

Damn, I was wondering why my computer was so slow yesterday. Thanks for the clue.

Surprisingly, I had two more when I shut down at noon today. Am out of town and on my tablet now.

If your whole computer is slow, I'd worry about some spyware or malware in there. Be sure your protection is up to date (should be on automatic update). Install a free one too, like Malwarebytes, and run that every so often. I find it catches a few things Symantic doesn't.

I have Malwarebytes as well as CC Cleaner in addition to AVG. I just got a notice that this laptop (XP) needs to shut down to activate the updates. Sometimes I think they throw us a bad apple and then send us a fix. (ATX is not alone)
