I'm Back!!

Could not resolve my computer woes after trying everything I could think of so took it down to my local computer specialist.
He told me he would start on it the following day and ring me when he has found the problem. Overnight I had another think about why it was failing and after a google on my phone one theory came to light, the CMOS Battery, when that starts to fail then date and time goes wrong disks can disappear etc. Ben (no not our Ben) rang and told me it was the CMOS Battery failing so put another one in for me and computer is as good as new.
Now comes the exiting bits, loading up everything else!!
Well at least I can now enjoy my sims and many thanks for all who have helped me out with links and advice.
Regards
Nigel.
