Thanks jenna! I have Windows ME.....and it's a Compaq. Guess I shoulda said that in my mutterings....lol! I do have restore from Compaq.......but I didn't want to do anything till I knew what was actually happening.

I had Norton 2002 loaded a while ago but I clicked on that avatar I talked about earlier, and suddenly I couldn't boot in anything but safe mode. So, I took it out and now I can boot properly but the pics keep making me freeze sometimes. It's so sucky too because I have a dial up service and it takes forever to reboot and wait for the scan and have it yell at me for improper shut down and all that shit.....and then I have to restore my desktop and redial up.........and by then I forget what I've typed previously and some of the things get even me to laughing and I can't remember them verbatum and I wanted so badly to post them but I can't cause I didn't save them.......Oh shit.....well.....I dunno!

Thanks for replying though.........I'll hold out for restore till I see if anyone can tell me WTF I did to make all this happen!

*hugs*
