Hello, John: It's my fault about the "print screen" button. Usually -- really, this is the truth -- I'm more computer savvy than the average bear but w/ all that's been happening plus NEW problems w/ this Devil Machine I can't keep anything straight in my head anymore. Please accept my apology, it truly was my fault! The more I try to fix this thing the worse it gets! Now it doesn't know I'm the Administrator (actually, the ONLY USER) and that's prohibiting many things -- for example, somehow my antivirus went down, I went to MSCONFIG to enable it but guess what? I CAN'T! It doesn't know I'm the administrator! I checked "user accounts". Yup, I'm the administrator but Devil Machine doesn't know how to read, I guess. So now I'm sitting here w/ NO ANTIVIRUS! Can it get worse? Oh yes ...

JackSparrow (I soooo love him in those movies!!), I thought of System Restore however, I seem to have been replaced as Adminstrator by the Devil Machine (I'm convinced this thing has a mind of his own!) so I have no privileges. Further, were I sure when I lost my E:drive that would be more plausible of an idea. It could have been January for all I know. But I thank you kindly. I know often something you think is a catastrophe is actually easily fixed, sitting right in front of your face but you can't see it. I only wish it were that simple ...

Chauffer2 -- I hate to get into this because it's nothing but bad news. I called HP for help earlier. My warranty expired two days before. I don't know whether to cry or bake a cake!! So it looks like it's a year old. Wait, I can give you all the information you need via Belarc Advisor. I'll post the info below! (Finally! I had a good idea!)
