Most of the programs it says are not complient on my computer, I no longer use. So that's OK.

Another good idea is to turn off your computer before midnight and turn it back on the next day. This way it does not experience the actuall rollover.

Thanks, Mike. It found some things I didn't know needed updating. It was quick too.
I really appreciate that you take the time to pass this kind of information along.
