Every time I have a problem like this, I seriously consider moving to Macs,
but then I read lots of posts about Mac users having all kinds of problems
upgrading to the next Tiger or whatever.  I worked on a project where the
main computer was a Mac and I had to adjust everything to the Mac and help
the Mac owner understand how to organize everything for the project.  It
nearly drove me crazy.  Nothing was where I expected it to be and defied the
logic that I had learned through many years of using Windows computers.  Not
to mention that all of the software I have is Windows specific.  Switching
would be a major pain.  One of my major workflow steps includes
Breezebrowser which is Windows only.  I just don't think I have enough years
and money left to learn and switch to a new system at this point.  So I
appreciate all of the suggestions and am working on restoring various dates;
however, nothing is working so far and I'll probably have to do a new
install and install all of my programs again.  If only I could find all of
my original CDs, packed in boxes as we move the house.  :-(
