Hi. Just writing to fill you all in on the laptop situation. Thanks again for all your ideas. As it was, I tried them all but none of them worked; so I tried plugging in one of my portable hard drives and then rebooting. It worked like a charm. It seemed that the computer was looking for any connections and when it didn't find any, and I couldn't see the screen, we went nowhere. Are there any work-arounds I can use if this happens again? Sometimes, I don't need to plug my portable hard drives in if I'm just using the laptop, and I'm sure I shut the laptop down properly last time.
Thanks.
