Thanks Guys I aprreciate your help,Hobo I have a PC a Gateway computer,and I do regret I didn't keep a copy of the installer now.I never have had anything remotely close to this happen to me before.I have had only 2 computers both Gateways and the old computer my sister has now and it still works perfectly,I just outgrew it.But I never had to do any restoring or anything on it in the 5 yrs I owned it, and this one which is now a little over 8 months old was running perfectly until the Bad Storms hit and caught me off gaurd while I was on it,had a power failure and it messed up something in my Windows XP I tried everything before doing the total system recovery to Factory settings..I have learned a very hard lesson BACKUP everything to Disks for an emergency. lol
I downloaded the newest freeversion I will probably have to break down and pay the $18 for Pro again.Thank you guys so mcuh for trying to help I appreciate it so much.
