I would not feel too bad. Similar things have happened to most
everybody. I remember having trouble when upgrading my RAM only to find
out that I did not push one Dimm sufficiently into the socket.

I could have listed a few of my own stupidities too, to encourage the
OP even more...

A few of them are still good to make me laugh when I reminisce.

When it comes to things PC, don't ever feel like the question is going to be
dumb. Every day people who have never had one, are starting out. To people
who buy one and are trying to learn, especially if they did not exist when
in school, it's all rather daunting. I am FAR from any thing close to an
expert, but have been using one since 01. Still when I get a new one, it's a
task trying to figure out how to set it up. I tend to forget how I did all
the stuff on the last one. Same with a new OS. XP was not really hard to
learn, Vista was a bit of a challenge. Groups like these made a lot of stuff
a hell of a lot easier. I have always figured I could care less if experts
laugh at my questions as long as I get a good answer
