Well here's the rub.
Not only was it two days in hell, the computer is now at the shop letting the geeks get at removing all the virus' and malware that infected it.
I plugged my old machine back in and settled in like I am in a comfy chair.
I'm not sure if something happened when I downloaded Firefox or I tried to install my Trend Micro security.
Or, when I tried to search for drivers because the new machine would not recognize my new HP Deskjet printer (even when plugged in to USB).
Jason, thanks for the link. I will be downloading that as soon as I get my machine back.
I hate to say it but I love the ease of XP more than the look of XP.
Microsoft really turned me off this time.
Thanks for your comments and support.
