Kind of a strange place to post this. Why not go to Microsoft instead, or a tech site. If your really stuck, try a system restore.

No it is not. Venerable tradition to get computer help here, noob. I have received it myself. There are some very sharp folks here; and if you have ever tried phone support - it's hit and miss

Actually, FreeRepublic is one of the first places I'd think of posting something like this. As a FReeper, you have access to an incredible pool of talent on a wide variety of subjects.

Not a strange place to post this at all.
I'm here because I was pinged here from a robust and fully functioning ping list for geeks on FR.

Not at all.

We have a Tech Support ping available--IMO it is generally just as valuable as calling the vendor's support.

Not to mention that some things no longer have support available. But that doesn't mean that other FReepers may be able to solve the issue at hand.

I've posted on FR for help in the past. I got help faster than I could do a search for something at MS site and didn't have to pay for tech support.

People helping people. FR is the greatest!
