Busy here today! I opened the New Threads page, and there's a big list, almost as if I haven't been here in a few days, compared to TWCClassics, which only had about 6 threads.

I can't believe you were clueless to all this stuff Vic.There's a LOT of things you dont beleive about me
i always keep my computer connected during severe thunderstormsYou said something about your PC not having electircla powerIt did not have power last night because I unplugged it due to thunderstorms that were heading this way.
When something with our computers goes so wrong, and I can't figure it out, I take the computer into a local PC repair shop. Their rates seem to be really inexpensive, I think around $45 an hour, but both times we went to them, it took them only 15 minutes to do their work, so they charged only $11.25.
And contrary to your belief, it COULD have something to do with the storms. I assume you use an ethernet cable and card to connect to the internet, and if that's the case lightning could very possibly have traveled through that and fried your PC. Yep, you don't need to have it plugged in to get it fried. I've dealt with many computers that were fried via the modem or ethernet connection.
Actually that's what came to my mind, too.
I was going to say temporarily short the CMOS setting on the motherboard, but probably not in this situation.
Yeah I don't think that messing with the CMOS would do any good.
My advice, provided Stephen doesn't want to attempt to tackle the inside of the PC himself, would be to take it to a place like FireDog or Geek Squad, at Circuit City or BEst Buy, respectively.
EW. I don't recommend either, but CERTAINLY NOT FIREDOG. They SUCK. And yes, thats coming from experience.
