that boot worm - maybe
Sorry, I couldn't quite follow what you were saying there.
I've reformatted via F10. D partition actually kept all the files that were there before. I'll look back at that post with the links.
I still have the spots on the screen (and the monitor flashing on & off . I've run Malwarebytes & avast (but no boot scan.....I learned my lesson). After I finish installing xp updates, I'll download the nvidia driver and see what happens.
Will mention if I find anything wormy.
