It's ok, Jorath.......I thought it rather amusing when I clicked onto the volleyball site looking for anti virus [img]smile.gif[/img] .
Downloaded the virus fix-it kit (cleans the drives and sets protections against this happening again--recommended solution for this bug) on my mom-in-law's machine yesterday. Got the floppies all lined up to copy and bring home the goods---but her pc runs XP and even when I got the compatibilities worked out, her pc decided it wouldn't read the floppy (didn't mattter which one--they were all brand new--just didn't feel like it, I suppose). Did get a boot copied over tho, but the command line is different from XP to ME and, you guessed it, the boot won't work either! And until I can get the cursed drivers to boot, I can't use the boot cleaner! (insert a little more creative language)
So, I'm going to devote the day to A) finishing cutting firewood from the debris of the icestorm and B) piddling around with this machine. It is most frustrating when I can't pop in a cd and play (or even reinstall my publishing program ). Of course, the kids don't mind the cd part *too* much---a portion of their school work is software based (homeschooled)!
Thank all the gods of Earth and Faerun it doesn't affect web-surfing, posting or e-mails!!!!!!!!!!!
