I'm noooooo expert here! But I recently have had some experience and I could possibly offer advice. Sounds to me that this could be canker infecting your cuttings. Canker is a nasty Springtime ailment. It occurs when fungal spores get into the open wounds on roses and infect them, turning them black. Sorry to say, but depending on the damage to your cuttings, they could well be ruined. Even if they start to produce, they may not produce the best bushes in the long run. I'd wager any bushes from them would be weak. But that's my guess. In future, when you make cuttings you can help minimize spored damage by making sure you cut a diagonal, and always cut near a leaf node so that the cutting has a chance to calcify there. You might be able to save the cuttings if you have enough healthy stem left on them though. Someone else could probably tell you better. Currently, I am experimenting on the use of Elmers glue on the pruning sites, I know this helps to prevent cane borers, and I'm curious to see if it will also prevent canker infections. Good luck!

Thanks for the replies everyone. I was finally able to boot the PC up and retrieve my files. Mikie I didn't have a CD in but I think that it was trying to boot from one. I read that I could boot up from the Windows XP disc if I changed the settings by hitting F1 when trying to boot the PC. When I went into setup, it appeared to have already been set to boot from the disc and I wasn't inserting the disc. I'm not sure how this setting could have gotten changed (the computer was working fine last week)or if maybe I read the settings wrong in setup, but I changed it to boot from the HD and it booted right up. I am definitely ordering an external HD enclosure. Thanks again for the help!

I couln't find the service manual for this exact washer (at least not for free) but try to google LG WM2501H Washer Repair Manual.pdf This model looks very similar. Alex

Well, I uninstalled the program & reinstalled it again. Nothing changed, still same problems. Then a couple days later & went to try & figure it out again & the program was working correctly like it used to. Don't know what happened but I am not to thrilled with this version but I have it now so will mess with it once in a while. For now I prefer PSP7 LOL Thanks for the tips. Still haven't managed to download the patches since my dial up connection is so slow. Terri
