I gave up on trying to fix this because the solutions everyone else was giving me
were doing nothing. I just went for the reformat of the hard drive, which I wouldn't
recommend unless u are desperate, but it worked. If you decide to reformat just
make sure you have all the documents you want to keep saved on another computer or
flashdrive, cd, etc. Also make sure you have the cd for your operation system because
if you format and find you dont have it you have a very big paper weight untill u
purchase a new operating system. You also may want to make sure you have the cds
for your programs too if you dont want to go out and buy another copy.
