    A dusting will more than likely take care of the problem.

    As there are so many possibilities here as to what it could be, it's probably best to take it in to get looked at. You might want to check out which store if any is running one of their free computer diagnostic checks (i.e. Best Buy, Office Depot, Staples, etc) so you can save $35-60 on the fee. You might even be able to find a coupon off the internet. Gotta save where you can - and hopefully it's nothing too serious. You'd rather spend that money on more fabric - not a new computer! ;)

    Explosive blessings, abundance and inspiration to you all!

    I called Staples this morning and explained the clicking. He advised me to back it up and get ready for the worst! Not what I wanted to hear!!! LOL But I had already backed most of it up so I just need to make sure I have anything new on the new ebook I am working on and the Sampler Quilt files saved. I would hate to lose those. Otherwise I am in pretty good shape with backing my files up.

    I do need to figure out if I can save my emails on a flash drive as I have several that I need the pics in them and other info. Or I may have to download all the stuff I was saving that way and then put it on a flash drive. I am learning!! LOL

    download to dvd-r if you can they hold lots more info and they will be handy if you need to add more later and for retreiving to restore if the worst happens.

    I can resend pics if I need to later.
