I really think it's some worm or something that I have. I installed the same version just fine on my grandmother's computer, but it wouldnt install on mine. It's really wierd because like I said before that MS Office started screwing up as did both of my virus porgrams, Norton 2004 as well as Symantec 2002. I could try to do the selective startup, but another thing I was thinking about doing was just setting my main hard drive, thet one that is messing up, to slave and just plugging another one in and setting that as master. Then going in and burnning off all of my files from the screwy one. I don't think that my safemode is working right because it won't boot up. It starts to boot then stops after it's loaded the a32bus.sys or soemthing of the sort. I dont remeber exactly what it was because it was late last night. I'll give the selective start up a shot, and I hope it works. Thanks for the help guys, I'll keep ya updated.
