To lovelyl --- my Hubby agrees with Hobo 2000
If you lived closer he would fix it for you for nothing as he enjoys being able to solve these kinds of problems.
He is retired so jobs like this keep him from the TV.
He could probably have redone your other computer so you wouldn't have to buy a new one.
It is good to have Windows 7 anyway because soon Windows will be bringing out another "NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION "ha ha ! GOOD LUCK but please let all of us know if you get it solved
