If you do plant it in a pot, I would only do so for one year before putting it in the ground with plenty of bonemeal and composted manure, about 2 cups of each mixed well and placed in the bottom of the whole. Then I would buy another clematis next year to plant with it. Clematis plants become very addicting, In another season or two when it is covered with flowers you will understand and to see a combo of another clematis planted with it or a rosebush, especially a climber is breathtaking. Put them on a trellis or fence or something to climb up. If you do order another one, get it through a much better place like Silver Star Vinery or Chalk Hill. I have dealt with that company too and choose to stay away from their tiny little plants,especially clematis. Look up daves garden on the internet, go to garden watchdog and there you will find ratings and writeups on how these mail order companies due and who to stay away from.

It'll probably be the same. I'm hoping that in CCleaner under Tools/ Startup, you'll be able to spot any programs that you don't need running at startup and delete those entries. Bacisally all you really need are your anti-virus and firewall. There are more advanced things a person can do like using the System Configuration Utility by clicking your start button/ run/ and type msconfig and choose Selective Startup and uncheck load startup items or Diagnostic Startup, but for now, might as well keep it simple. If you haven't had this problem for very long, possibly a system restore to an earlier time would fix this. Does the error mention anything about "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error. The problem could be something as simple as google toolbar or yahoo toolbar if you have either.

I found ask.com in default search options. I deleted it. There is also a: ask Jeeves UK.ask.com. Shouldn't I delete that also? I rebooted & that error message didn't come on. I just want to be sure before I delete it but think ALL traces includes the ask Jeeves. Dar
