Thanks for all the suggestions. Thought I'd give an update. I decided that doing this myself would be too much of a hassle. But also didn't want to take the laptop to our IT folks since I was embrassed.
So I did what any self-respecting man would do - I got hold of a clueless intern walking around and asked him to take it to IT and get the latop fixed. Since I'm so busy all posting on GS all the time
