He called me a little while ago saying he was fixing to take a hammer to it. Either he got some malware from all those E-mail attachment I forward from 10 others or a corrupted download from Firefox 4. I told him to pull all cards out and buy new ones then to reformat his hard drive. It sounded like he was getting a Gray screen of maybe rather than the blue screen of death or just won't boot up. Anyway he might be back on tonight or in a day or so. I was downloading FF4 while he was telling me about it but it went OK on mine.

I am back up and running. I am on Explorer as Firefox 4 and my computer do not like each other. I had to remove just about everything and reload from scratch using my restore disc that came with the computer. Sure glad I had them and my back up disc. I have reinstalled Firefox 4 but it still has issues. Locks up, slower than dial up and wont load pages or just loads partial pages. I am not having any issues with Explorer.

I have about 150 GB just in My Documents. I got them backed up in several places too. I've had to reformat XP one time on my old computer due to it getting trashed by a family member but on three puters with XP that's been it. Glad you got it back up and running..

Did he get Winders 7? I think I would before I'd go with Vista.

yea, 7 is on all the new computers now. I have no complaint with Vista. I have complaint with Browsers and other programs that upgrade and are no longer compatable with Vista.

So far I've not had that problem. I even opened a w/95 program the other night and it played on XP.
