Confusing post: You get the most from this site when you ask a clear related question after you post a detailed description of your problem. Here your posted symptoms are vague and no clear question is asked, only a comment that someone's answers are vague. You are welcome to start over. Your posts are not linked. Each needs to have all relevant information and a clear question.
