I have no idea what's going on..but I am reinstalling XP on the PC..it said there was nothing there..no operating system..I think it said. I had to verify 98..and now I'm loading XP again. We have a ton of power offs/ons where I live..and possibly a hard shutdown from a power glitch wiped out XP??? I guess I better buy another Power backup thingy. My new pc is on the UPS thing now. Sorry about the emails..I have a sick puppy and my head is not where it should be. Jackie
