well, i tested it out with another computer monitor and it does the exact
same thing, so it can't be the monitor. well, the thing is, it worked fine
last night, but i had opened my norton antivirus and was curious as to see
what was in the "quarantined" area. i ended up deleting some, i suppose,
"backup" of files previously infected with viruses. next thing you know i
turn off comp for the night and wake up to turn it on and it doesn't
work...could this have attributed to the problem? could i have deleted an
important file?
