Thank you for our pateince and I apologize for being a such a pansy.
I f I do the " Repair" from the XP cd like you suggest, again, will i lose all my pics, docs, music, etc ??
If I do the commands at the prompt like you suggested earlier and that dosent work and I do the repair it would just redo the command line instructions, right.
What are the adbvantages of one or the other ? ?
Again, sorry bout all the questions I just try to gather a lot in info before I venture into any new venture. I like to do my research.
Has nothing to do with you, apreciate all your help and patience. You sound like you obvioulsy sound like you knoe what your are tlaking bout.

Once again thnks for all your help !!!!!!!!!!!
