92818 2002-10-31 07:54:00 Man, you are having problems. Between this, the dll prob and the partitioning prob, it may be time to take my advice and start again, or take the PC in to be fixed. I don't want to sound haughty as everyone makes mistakes, but I think that perhaps you took on too much too soon. Computers are complex and difficult to master, but with a little practice, and taking it easy, you will get somewhere.

My advice - get someone to fix it for you, or if you can start from scratch, and then learn in smaller steps not taking on more than you can handle at once. Research before you undertake a major activity, and remember to backup. If you have good backups, failing a major hardware failure, you can always get back to where you were no matter how much damage you do. BTW, where are you from?? Someone who lives nearby may be willing to help.
