Yeah, John, that's what I'm wondering. Fortunately, I have saved all of my N3FJP contest logs in several other places, so if the worst has happened, it's not the end of the world in the long run. Will keep working the problem here.

Usually if you can look up the brand and if it's long or short beeps, you can get in the right direction but if the beeps are new, not something it's done right along, very likely you lost some piece of hardware, video card or something. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Behler Sent: Saturday, December 12, 2015 10:36 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Very Strange Issue With Windows XP Logging Computer Hello, everyone. I was getting ready to work some of the ARRL 10-meter contest this morning, and something very strange has happened to my old Windows XP logging computer. I successfully installed and tested the updated N3FJP logging software for the contest last night, but today, when I turn on my computer, I can't get into any of the programs on the machine. If I turn on the computer, I can hear the hard drive start to engage, but after waiting for a few seconds, nothing happens, other than a double beep which I'm sure indicates something. . Jaws will not come up, so I can't read the screen. And, my XYL is not here to look at the screen. Has anyone experienced this sort of thing before, and if so, how do you get the computer back into normal operation? Tom Behler: KB8TYJ
