Try looking in download folder. You have to install it to see it in
other places.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I found a web site that had image for windows with a free 30 day trial.
http://download.cnet.com/Image-for-Windows/3000-2242_4-10149389.html
I clicked on the download link and after it announced 100 % there
was no other information on what to do.
I could not find the program in my docs or programs.
How would I know if I actually downloaded it?

Thanks for the info.
What program do you recommend to take an image for back up?
By the way, when the problem began, my sighted wife said the mouse
would not work as well as the keyboard.
I had not made any changes to the configuration manager prior to
the problem.
Interestingly, after rebooting, Microsoft ran a "check disc"?
Thanks again.

Ok, lets start with selective startup. There's nothing wrong
with using selective startup, that's what I do to keep extra
programs that aren't necessary from loading.
I can't figure out why you said the keyboard wasn't working, but
I can educatedly guess why Jaws wasn't working. I'll bet somehow
you unchecked the REaltech sound manager from loading by
mistake. That will kill sound every time after Windows
loads. So the bottom line, when you go through the startup list,
make sure you know which programs you are unchecking so you don't
dump one that might be system critical, as the sound manager is
for us, and of course, as an anti-virus program is.
As to your second question, your Outlook Express files are stored
under your documents and settings, Username, Local Settings,
application Data, Identities, alphanumeric string, Microsoft,
Outlook Express folder. Unless you have Task and Folder options
set to show hidden files, you won't see these files.
However, if you set up your backup solution to backup your
Documents and Settings folder, it will back up your OE .dbx files as well.
The other type of backup you can use of course is a program that
takes an image of your hard drive and stores it on external
media. The image will restore everything if there is a severe
crash, including the Windows System and all your installed
programs. You don't have to do image files as often, but you
should back up your data in the Documents and Settings folder
more often, as that likely changes on a daily basis.

Thanks all!! You guys really helped me on this one.
I've seemed to have gotten the computer working with your help.
To complete, I went in to msconfig and noticed that "selective"
start was checked. My other options were "normal" and one other one.
What should be checked?
That computer is XP home.
My second computer is XP pro and when I checked , all 3 options
said "checked".
The main computer would only allow one option to be checked.
Another question.
I have, I think, an external hard drive to back up information.
I am able to copy the C drive in to this but, I am not sure how
or if I can copy my e mails from Outlook Express.
When in O E, the options to copy to folders were for folders within O E.
So, how can I back up e mails?
Thanks again for all of the help.

Rich,
First, try starting your computer and hitting the f8 key until
you get a dialog menu. Try booting into safe mode.
Check out the following microsoft article. It has several
methods you can try, but many of them are advanced.

Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Hi all and a big help request.
My main computer seems to have frozen.
When I physically turn it on, I hear the Microsoft tune.
JAWS never starts talking.
My sighted wife says the hour glass on the desk top is not full.
I've waited for over an hour.
I've restarted and rebooted a couple of time and nothing happens.
The keys and even the mouse do not work.
I do have an up to date McAfee.
Any thoughts on what it is and what to do?
Thanks so much.
Rich
