like i said, i appreciate ALL the help I've received. i'm super-grateful. i don't mean any disrespect toward's anyone. i apologize if i have seemed a little pissy. you all know what it's like when your computer starts fudgin' up. i can fix some problems on here but i'm kinda scared to go too deep into uncharted territory. the last time i did that i had to get a new computer(pretty much).please have patience with me. Again, thank's for all your help and suggestions.
