Thanks for your help. When I opened up terminal and did as you suggested, It did not ask for my password, but stated that " dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege".
Other than not being able to update any more and the odd hiccup, my system seems to run fine. I'm thinking that I will just reinstall from scratch, (I am more hardware savvy than I am with software, so I might just swap out the drive). Do you suggest that I try the 8.04 beta or stick with 7.10 and upgrade when the final version of 8 is released? Thanks in advance for your reply.
