Funny thing Oberon, I was going to do the back-up after moving rooms but the wife's underfoot dog tripped me up. Lady luck was on break in my case...LMAO.
Well it appears that the comp is toast as the new HDD doesn't help. Checked with an old video card, connections and nothing. Kiss the P3 good bye and time to step up to the P4. Been fighting the urge to upgrade for the past few years as what I use the computer for (word processing, invoicing, simple graphics work and a few games) doesn't justify it. Now I have a reason...LOL.
Thanks again all
