She is up and running. Still have to reload the data I saved.
I ordered a micro board in error but said what the heck I will just use that. So far so good. The one cool thing is it came with a parallel port. Which was nice since my printer like that port better than the USB port. But then my printer failed. Dern it.
The one thing I don't like about the board is that it seems to take a long time to post. It stops at the mainboard screen a little longer than I like. Seems I have to press tab.
Addendum: Restored the data and it worked like a charm. Used Acronis Home 11. After the surge killed the computer I pulled the old hard drive out and backed up the data onto a new hard drive that I had installed on my other computer. Also bought a new surge protector from a suggestion made by Skuzzy. Then I networked the computers, reinstalled all the programs, and then of course restored the data from the new hard drive on the other computer.
