Thanks guys. I ended up digging out the old "box-o-floppies" and made some boot diskettes. I think someone has been shutting down my computer improperly and it corrupted a file in there. Even though my pc is working now, I found that there were some viruses in there that weren't making life easier. So then I did a hijack this thing on it and got rid of those and then I reformatted my pc. And then there were still viruses on it cause I forgot to write-protect the diskette and then I had to do it all again...:headbang: But everything seemed to work out fine, and I was almost done - until my entire block had a power outage...
