Thank you for your reply. I read through everything in that link. I am not sure what or how to help the system since it will only stay connected for 10 seconds. The system might have a download itself, but I can not do anything within the 10 seconds. I do not want to have to dump everything and start from scratch. I would be happy to go back to my previous version 11.something. I am not sure how to do that. But if anyone has a suggestion?
Thank you

After it was done and rebooted it asked for the authentication for the wireless network. No problem. I have Verizon FIOS and got the number off the verizon box, entered it and it connected no problem. About 10 seconds later a window said, disconnecting and said I was now offline and the add Key number window popped up again. So, I went into the settings and it even said connect automatically on startup. Hmmmm. I again entered the key code and again it connected and again it disconnected after about 10 seconds.

I have it on my Toshiba Satellite L505 laptop, which is dual boot. Any suggestions as to what else I may have missed?
