ok, million dollar question now is what if I dont have the xp cd? dsenette I dure hope you have a lot of patience you seem to be the only one helping me and trust me I do appreciate it. Will be waiting ot hear from you.

[dsenette]

if'n ya don't have an xp cd...there may be problems hehehe...at least with the sfc guy.....SOMETIMES not all the time...the second option will not ask for a cd....sometimes you can use a recovery disk that came with the computer....unfortunately...you'l kinda just have to try it,,,

p.s. sorry for the tying i messed up my finger this moireing

[sweetpollypurebred]

ok well I'm more scared then ever now. I did not receive a recovery CD with this computer or my last one for that matter. I dont understand why they dont give them out with all computers. I guess its to screw up people like myself. dsenette, sorry about your finger, actually I thought you were poking fun at me not having spell check. ha ha

in case it matters this is a sony vaio laptop purchased less then three months ago that I'm having this trouble on.

~~spell check does stop on misspelled words but seems to not have anything in its dictionary to make a replacement suggestion for them.

[dsenette]

so it's marking the words....but not making suggestions?

[sweetpollypurebred]

ok well I have truly enjoyed our little chats dsenette, but I have fixed the prob. someone unclicked "always make suggestions". So has anyone ever been kicked out of here for stupidity? I am really blushing right now, I cant believe all the times I was checking there I didnt notice that. [bleep] Im so sorry dsenette to have bothered you about this. Guess next time you see a post from me you will avoid it ...right?! Hope your finger gets better hope you didnt injure it waving it in the air at me
