Rick I am not well versed in viruses, but I suspect the the one (Kakworm) you mentioned might have "eaten" your CMOS settings. Try to go to setup when you restart your computer, and check all the settings. Auto detect drives, and make sure that you enable floppy seek (and make the floppy your first boot choice). If you manage to get into your HDD (if your PC posts), you might as well format it. Otherwise you might want to troubleshoot, by removing all the expansion cards (including RAM and HDD) and putting back one item at a time and testing for post all the time. I just hope this will help you find the right solution. >Rick wrote >I have a PC which was continually rebooting if I tried to use Outlook >Express. Norton revealed the Kakworm virus.
