I seem to have scratched open a festering sore all around the globe this time...thanks for the support & understanding, I have 3 computers on a network in my house, & it seems I just go from one prob to another for the last couple of months...since I've been trying to get some kind of home business going using them, on a tight budget to boot, I just don't have the time or $$$ to keep pumping both into them all...
Booger, this is the old puter with a new HD & OS (win 2000), I just started it up a few weeks ago (& still have not figured out how to get my old email into it) & was hoping not to have to start over again so soon...
Compounding my problems is that the puter that once occupied this space is in the basement, been trying desparately to save everything off of it before it expired...alas, it's now giving me the "hard disk failure" message on startup...
