Not that I am the most active poster.....but I won't be here for a while.....or soit seems at the moment.  My pc is on the fritz....I am actuall on my stepmom's machine now....my pc had some hd errors, and after repairs, it'd load partway then reboot, I attempted to start again, same damn thing....several tries later i resloved to reinstall win98se.  Currently doing a full reinstall of windows....if that fails, I have a spare hd to replace the problematic one with.....See you all on the flipside.  

Good luck, nothing beats a good stock of fallback spare parts :)

Got it up and about again....I didn't have to resort to yanking the hd out....still might though; also I must download IE6 again.........too late for a 2 hour d/l.........ugh.  Maybe Wednesday.....

Thx all.
