Aww, Y'all are really sweet. Muffin ? haha that's cute, and the line about keeping the cat in the house. If it's a bad kitty it needs to go. Really guys if you can help it would be great, but I don't like asking. I just can't fix it right now. I'm using my daughters little laptop, lol I should have bought her a better one. I had a pc repair look at it twice, he said the northbrigde on the motherboard was gone. I really don't know what means, but I know it won't work. The board was a k8n-neo4f version 3.0, it's a red board. Socket 939 which I think makes it hard to find, it is a older board, but it worked for me. He said everything else should still be fine. He thinks it took a power surge, I don't know tho, it was plugged in a protected outlet. But anyway the poor thing is dead. I want y'all to know even if I can't get it fixed, it was really nice to offer. I cried yesterday as I posted my post. I don't have much real family left, but when I felt lonely or frusterated I'd always come play a few games, it always helped. XI will always be special to me. And Ron it's cute you still call me Angel. It's been alot of years. I have to say gaming with the XI family they were good ones.
