I installed them properly...through Control Panel. In fact, I d/l the
instructions & followed them precisely. After reading some of the other
related posts on here, though, I think I may have installed too many. I'm
going to try deleting some. I've printed out the article that tells me which
ones I need to keep. But, oh, there's just so many of them that are so great.
Then again, I doubt people buying auto parts really want to see a sales ad
with Old English script. Thanks for your quick response.
