Thanks, gang. I did the restore, but no luck. my daughter came home from school and wanted to play Sims2 on the big screen, so I gave it another try and this time it worked. Strange. Going to do a little more research. Something is goofy (for lack of a better word). I have a couple of days off from work so I'll play around with it. Hopefully there will be an answer and I'll let everyone know. Thanks again.
