I can get to the "list of modes" but it shuts itself down even in safe mode. I'm still waiting for a call from microsoft but I'm not optimistic. They said 24-72 for a level 2 tech to call but here it is at 67 hours and they haven't call yet.

Local repair shops have quoted me 150.00-200.00 to fix it without loosing all my files. They also said that they are doing a brisk business fixing problems caused by sh!t pack 2. It's enough to make me want an Apple. I'm not computer savy and all this stuff is making my head spin and throb. I may just bite the bullet and get the computer doctor to make a house call.

BTW, thanks for all the great advice and help from all of you folks. It is times like these that make me glad I'm a member here.

Happy Holidays to all!
