Thanks, I pretty much gave up after D2.
Currently trying to fix my laptop - though half-tempted to just smash it to pieces. :)
Discovered replacing the screen is liable to cost nearly as much as I paid for the thing and the system is just unreliable as poop. Now it's stuck in updating windows, and the instructions for bypassing or even just doing reset to factory settings (again) aren't working.
edit: Sigh - think what happened is spouse turned the router off for bed (radiation!!1!) when it was in the middle of an hour+ long update. After some poking/prodding...it looks like it might be back on track.
