Thanks, Sandi Beach
Mack tried what you said but on Vista it's not the same as XP.  No "run" on 
Vista, either.  What he's doing right now is backing up his Vista & then he's 
going to do a complete restoral and put everything back in.  Thanks to everyone 
for trying to help!  ..Paula
Paula, I wonder if he has tried  Error Checking.  Go to C Drive, Properties, 
Tools, Error checking and also check the box that says fix errors.  Or 
System File Checker by going to Start, Run, and entering sfc /scannow.  It 
will ask for your original disk.
I have not done either of these for a while so hope I have directed you 
properly.  If I have not, I am sure one of the Mods will set us straight!
Sandi
P.S.  Oops, I just noticed that he has WinVista.  I am using WinXP Pro.  May 
be different file checking procedures.
