Thanks for the info Avon Lady, but it came up 'No Damage' , so it looks like I will have to re-install

and I do have a Power back-up, but unfortunately the battery must be almost dead, cause it didn't hold, so I need to buy a new one

It could be worse, I had no hurricane damage! I have nothing to complain about... -Nightowl
