nah, didnt have the problem before the current installation, it just suddenly happend one day.

All i remember is i was working on someone elses document, which i put their disk in. It worked. I switched off the pc went to sleep, next morning...doesnt work anymore, i have this problem.

This is the only first installation i had on this computer, i had it for a year, havent done a reinstall or a format, just a defrag last month. Seems like a reinstall is the last thing i have, so i'll give it a try.
