I ran the vundofix last night, but I think that was there from before. Heck, I don't know...but I'm about ready to pull my hair out!

Okay, about safe mode. I'm using the f8 method, and most times it won't work. After I hit safe mode, it starts listing what looks like to be drivers of some sort. I have to do it several times before it will work. I'm going to run the cleanupxp now and then the rest of your suggestions. I'll get back to you asap.
Thanks for taking the time to help me
