So now,I'm using a different (and older) computer. *sigh*

Do you perform spyware and virus scans? If not, you should start. Also, when you say "it refused to come online", are you talking about the hard drive tower, or are you saying that you couldn't connect to the Internet? What type of speeds do you have -- dial-up, cable, DSL?
