I don;t know what happened either. It is at the C prompt and i can't even
get it go to subfolders, or even another drive. I keep getting the missing
or corrupted message.
I have had XP on this machine for quite sometime with no problems.....I
can't even get to the directories or other drives from the command
prompt....thanks tom
