Sorry for the panic. It was simply a freeze/lockup. Its just that the
on-off power switch would not shut it down and when I finally did get it
shut down I get this message. No beeps nothing else. Just the message that
the video should be checked. Left computer overnight and to my
amazement/embarrassment it was fully loaded ready to go. Turned out I think
I had too many things on the go and the computer got confused big time. It
is fine now --so far...
As for IRC I downloaded a newer more secure version so lessen the virus/
trojan paranoia..
Thanks for the feedback any how.
