Default Hey Geo

You're the game admin for Dimension X, right? Do you mind setting that on Last player upload for a few days? My main computer just went 1$%@%@#$%, and there's no way I'm going to get my turns in.

Everyone else: anyone have any ideas here?
First I tried to uninstall Global Operations, the public beta. It hit 100% then crashed. In the process it took out my TCP/IP, and windows wouldn't let me install. Various other weird crap started happening, so I figure it corrupted my installation of Windows. NP. I made a backup, then booted into DOS with my windows 98 CD.

I fdisk, and it keeps popping up warning Messages about viruses because the boot sector is being written. So I go into my BIOS and turn that *off*. That's all I did- turned off the virus warning.

Now my computer won't POST. Power on, lights flash, steady.. no beeps, no BIOS, no boot. Ideas? I'm thinking of pulling the battery to reset the CMOS, I figure it might clear out whatever got into this thing.
