Oscer1,
Thank you for such a fast response to my inquiry.
I will try to follow some of early steps in resolving this issue,
as suggested by the link provided.

I am not proficient enough to attempt some of the later steps.
I may have to take the unit into a computer repair facility.
If I have any success in my early attempts, I will let you know.

OK if it is still under warranty you will not want to take it apart since that would void your warranty i should have mentioned that earlier.

Boot off of your Windows 7 DVD and choose to Fix My Computer. Windows will try and fix it, if that fails it will give you the option to do a System Restore to a time before this happened.

Thank you Spunk.Funk, I haven't tried that,
Your advice sound pretty straight forward.
