The accolades go to you, Nix, and all the other people who helped me solve this problem.
I did learn a lot, the main thing being that I need to go to school to learn more about my computer and how to deal with the problems it can bring.
I learned that people are wonderful about sharing the information they have,and that there are wonderful websites (like this one) who can put me in touch with people who can-and will - take the time to help out a stranger.
Each feedback gave me the chance to check out one aspect of the problem and eliminate it so that we could actually resolve it.
I've printed out every reply, and no doubt will be referring to them in the future.
Without going through that list of " fixes" I doubt if I could have ever done it.
My heartfelt thanks to Nix, AlaricD,Eeyore,HondaNSX12, Rapmaster & ralph3124 for all the great help and time you put into solving my comptuer problem.
Most of all, thanks to VirtualDr Forums for bringing people together from all over the world to help me work on - and fix- this problem.
