OK, the problem now I think has to do with the CMOS. I changed the
3 volt battery and now isn't there a jumper on the motherboard that
I can do something with to correct the problem? Or should I go into
safe mode and run it that way or should I go into BIOS and configure
something? Any help here will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

The manual will tell or show you where on the motherboard is the 2-pin
CMOS header pins across which you short (using a jumper) to clear the
CMOS table copy of the BIOS settings. While you might expect the
2-pin header to be near the battery, that isn't always true. I've
seen mobos with the battery at the lower right of the mobo (as viewed
when looking into the side panel with the case upright) and the 2-pin
header at the backside about halfway up. There may even be a
silkscreened label on the mobo that identifies the "Clear CMOS"
header.
With the computer powered down AND its power cord yanked from the
back, short the pins for a minute. Remove the jumper and reboot.
The CMOS table will repopulate with the default BIOS settings. If
you made any customization to the BIOS settings, you'll have to do
them again.
Refreshing to see such a clear, concise mind, VanG; keep up the good
work! Posters with your communications and people abilities are getting
rare and it's great to see your capabilities at work.
