You guys are just perfect.  I don't want to put it back at least for a while.  
Until my newer box is working again, I want the extra stability of 4.2.2.  
Thanks for the advice.  I hadn't used the old box that much with 4.2.3 in it 
to experience the troubles you have been having.  Most of the time, I was just 
enjoying the speed and features of my newer computer.  Thanks so much for the 
good advice.  I am taking it.
