One new hard drive later and we're back on cyberspace (i love that word). I'm still not convinced it wasn't a basic software problem that required a simple fix, but oh well. We only lost all photos and music in the Dell debacle of '06. On the bright side, I was able to do a complete, fresh install of Xp Pro - minus all the bloatware that Dell tacks on before shipping it out. It now runs like a champ and is very quiet. Goodbye Outlook Express and AOL! Ugh, now back to those photos.
