I have a Gigabyte motherboard and my computer doesn't go into safe 
mode with F8.  I don't understand a thing it says in the Gigabyte 
window.  It has key tags but none say 'safe mode'.

I really don't want to screw around with this anyway.  I have no 
idea what I'm doing and don't want to *really* screw up something in 
the bios or boot sector or any of that stuff. That has to be where 
the bastard virus writing prick put it, because there no way I know 
of that I copy a full C: image with True Image that was made a week 
before this crap ever started and it has the same problem.

I could use MS Web browser Explorer 8  to download youtube if I 
could find a plugin/extension for it that does that.  The most well 
known program for that, YTD, is malware/spyware ridden piece of 
crap, so I'm not even considering that. Anyone know of trustworthy 
one for Explorer 8?

Oh, yeah, there's one other interesting fact involved. My old copy 
of Stream Transport, which has worked for years, all of a sudden is 
asking for a password and user name when it comes up. This prick who 
did this I'd like to meet.  I'll say again, their freak'ng hands 
should be cutoff whenever they find one of these virus writing, 
cowardly bastards.  That's exactly what the are. Too cowardly to 
face up to problems in their real life so they get even in the way 
all cowards do: abusing and stabbing people in the back.

'nuff of my ranting. That's what the pricks enjoy. I'm going to have 
the Geek people or someone in the business do a home visit and fix 
the problem.  I'm not going to sit around and worry and go nuts with 
it.  As I said, that's what these virus writing sicko cowards want.

One thing, though.  I really posted in here to find out if anyone 
else has ever heard of this problem. I doubt if I'm the first.

Thanks for answering.
