Here's the deal.  First of all the model is the 2200 model, a presario.  I
tried starting the computer in safe mode and it started in safe mode once.  I
deleted some files that were just temp files.  I restarted the computer and
the problem still exists.  But I've learned something new about the problem.
Now when trying to boot it may allow me to go to the screen where windows asks
how you would like to boot after hiting F8, but then it frezzes up after about
five seconds.  Or even if I try to boot by just holdong SHIFT, which actually
worked the first time, it still frezzes up after five seconds.
