Now using my wife's computer as mine is a dead parrott!!

1 - Don't mess with DLLs. I renamed several then rebooted only find the computer going round in circles, rebooting, rebooting etc, finally disappearing up its own hard drive.

2 - Had to speak to a nice gentleman in VU to get my email sorted out on this computer. He was not complimentary about IE7. Apparently it is only an intermediate version and you can't change passwords, amongst other things. He installed a temporary password for me then recommended I go back to IE6 (or an internet cafe) so that change it to one of my own choice. I have gone back to IE6. Life wouldn't be worth living if I messed up the bosses computer!!

Any assistance to get my own computer going again would be welcome. It gets as far as a DOS page that says things like "Press Delete to go to setup" but just hangs there. If I could just get into the various folders I could rename which would hopefully let me back in so I could also go back to IE6.
