About a week ago my daughter's computer started acting up. Sometimes it would not boot, then she received a few messages stating that her anti-virus program was not compatible. Then she started getting messages that system files were corrupted and were being removed. I tried to help her recover first thinking that it was a virus. She is using one of the best anti-virus programs so I was surprised at that thought. When we could not recover or even boot in safe mode off to the computer shop we go. Talking to the repair guy I was not totally convinced that it was a software issue. At first he re-assured me that it was software and should not be hard to correct. After two days Kelly got her machine back with new memory. It was hardware the memory chip failed. I once had a hard drive that acted like that and my old computer the failing mother board produced similar results. I have always found it interesting that a hardware problem may mimic a software problem. It takes me back to the late 60s and 70s when we as software developers would argue with the field engineers over a problem. They would insist that the problem is software and we insisted that the problem was hardware. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.lennymchugh.com Lenny
