Well I unhhoked the USB flatbet scanner, my only USB device and I thought I
was good. But just now I booted up for the first time, no desktop icons and
an hour gladd when I moved the mouse pointer down around the start in XP.
But this time I held in the power switch and it wouldn't reboot! Tried again
and now ok.......bummer but thanks!
