Back online again. Had to put my computer in the shop.
Turned it on the other morning and during the boot process I got "NTDLR file missing. ctrl-alt-del to restart".
Now I had no idea what NTDLR meant so I put my XP disc in and went to "Repair". During that process I was asked for the "administrators password". WHA???WTF is that?
Soooo....I threw my hands up and brought my system to a cool little shop by SDSU and they replaced my power source, which had been overheating of late, and reloaded Windows.
$150.00 later I'm up and going again.

1. Well, thank goodness it's fixed!
I don't know about you, but if I had to be without my computer for more than a day or two, I'd go NUTS!

Computers....can't live without them! I'm so glad yours is working once more...

:hug: :pals:

3. BTW, unless you put in an Administrator's password
you could just hit return.

It just wouldn't get past that command.
