I swear... sometimes I just want to throw this thing under a bus but I'm afraid of what Dell would replace it with. Alright, I'll start a new thread over there and see what else is wrong with this thing. Thanks. I'll be back if I get a clean bill of health and the problem remains.

I don't know if I should be doing both of these things simultaneously or not. I followed your instructions and after I hit "Run" I received message saying "Run Time Error '75': Path/File access error."

I don't know if that tells you anything or not but I figured I would report it.

As you can see, right now, a whole team is on your case....hehehehe

[rshaffer61]

The team will figure it out one way or another now.

You guys have my absolute most heartfelt thanks. I thought I would also let you know that I have ordered a replacement Wireless Network card and Motherboard to sort of be pro-active. (Even if they aren't faulty it couldn't hurt and Dell is footing the bill anyway so why not right?)

As soon as I get a clean bill of health from the pro's at the Malware forum I'll be back. Again, my deepest thanks to all of you for looking into this.

You're welcome

rshaffer61, rev_olie, Broni, and happyrock I cannot thank you guys enough for all the time and effort you put into helping me solve this problem. I have to apologize to rshaffer61 for losing my patience there for a moment. It's weird how something I think of as a peripheral can drive me into such a craze when it doesn't function properly.

After having visited the Malware Forum the problem has been corrected (on what seems to be a more permanent basis.) From the perspective of a total layperson this problem seems to have been malware related all along (potentially even a left over from the original fight against an infection.)

Again my deepest thanks to you all for your time and your patience with a newbie like me.

How can, and why does a PC sometimes start up one day and then the next its compltley un bootable...no one knows but we can find out by looking at everything.
