BTW, your messed up drive couldn't be reformatted?
That's the usual fix.

Recently I passed by my computer monitor. The screen was blue and it said
rewriting line so and so and then another and another, etc. After this, the
poor thing was so messed up no amount of restoring the system did much good.
So we wound up with a new hard drive, a lighter wallet, and no saved messages
or favorites. I suppose it was a worm or virus of some sort. I don't think
the lines of code (I presume it was code--only thing I know of that goes with
'lines of') would be rewritten otherwise. I am continuing to get attachments
with emails that I report to yahoo as spam and of course don't open. Most of
them say 41, but sometimes 40, as the size. I get 5 or 6 such messages a day
sometimes. So I guess we are under assault here. I will try to get my son to
use Firefox or Opera or something else as the Big M has so many holes I also
doubt they can ever fix it. Too, too bad. Can it be possible that the 'powers
that be' don't even want us to have internet access!

Nothing would really surprise me as I have read a lot of history books. pj

You might well try Linux as Linux has been pretty free of virii and
worms.I am running Mandrake Linux and Mozilla.Sure it has some drawbacks
but security is not one of them.Get the PowerPack form and you will not
be without applications that would cost you thousands under windows.Go
for the optional extended support as Mandrake will automatically
update.You can partition your harddrive and it will co-exist with
windows.I have it straight.I admit I have had trouble with Mdk10 but
security is fantastic.
Peace,
