MS Access is refusing to start.  It's the main program that I use.
Excel is also failing to start.
Backup up files and was confused about how I organized my backup drive.

Rebooted laptop.
I started Access and got message:
"Access failed to launch in safe mode.  Do you want to start repair."
I got that before and said yes, but it didn't seem to do anything.
This time it started and seems to be working.
~~  Excel asked me if I wanted to start in safe mode and I said yes, and it came up,
but safe mode, supposedly won't let me run programs.
I restarted Excel and it seemed to restart normally.

-- 11:45a  Turned on old ASUS laptop.  It hasn't been on since December.
It's showing a black screen, although the mouse cursor appears and is movable.
The disk light shows activity.  I don't know why Microsoft can't figure out a way
to display a message to explain what's going on.
~~  The mouse cursor has disappeared but the disk still shows activity.

ASUS finally came up, but it seems to be showing the same symptoms that is was
showing before it was fixed.  Task manager shows NO processes running.
So, basically, I don't have a usable backup laptop.  The battery light shows
it's charging, but I don't know if it's actually accepting a charge because I
can't display the power meter.  But, eventually, the red light went out, implying
that the battery is fully charged.
~~  When I looked at App History on Task manager, it says it is showing the
usage history since 1/4/2065.
