Hi GMan, thanks for your reply. I did try reinstalling Windows; I spent all
of Friday night trying that with no success at all. I finally couldn't take
it anymore, and today I went out and got a new computer. I know that's
probably extreme, but I was at the end of my patience with that machine. I
hope you and Babydoll like your new place! Take it easy, Connie C.
