[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 928042, member: 56379"] I would try what "D3v1L80Y" suggests. Reinstalling the OS really is not that big of a deal...just make sure that all of your important files are backed up. If an OS reinstall fixes everything, great! If you are still sort of concerned about doing a fresh OS install. Buy yourself a relatively cheap 80 or 160 gig internal hard drive (like $40 bucks here in the States, or buy a used one for even less)...and do a fresh OS install on it. Then boot the computer from that new drive with the fresh OS on it. At least with a fresh install of the OS, you can eliminate the OS as a potential problem area. If the fresh OS install works, then AWESOME, problem solved!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
