finally........
....after re-reading HP manual,there is a way to do a partial system
recovery without install disc's......however, after doing several input's, the
instructions made it sound like I had already went to far and I was doing a
compleate recovery......needless to say, I was doing the "humma' humma's"
( read Ralph Kramden ), and making several deal's with God while awaiting
the final reboot to see what had taken place. Everything except the
Virus & Spyware applications and the Handicapper's toolbar was there !!!
First I installed the PA toolbar, thank you , then I started rationalizing the
money I saved by not paying for repairs.....and added that to my E-Horse
account.I want to empathize how greatful I am to those of you that bothered
to send me the help and suggestions I recieved, as it DID make a difference
to my state of mind & depressed feeling ( I believe having a computer failure,
losing one's key's or wallet alway's put's one in a "funk" until the situation is
cleared up ). I believe we have the most involved and caring site's on the web
and I want to again thank you ALL for the imput.
