Vicki-

I'm glad things have worked out after the crash. MT has become unpredictable about when they mark zombies so I would suggest that friends take the step of deleting the old account rather than waiting for it to be marked. I would also email MT and ask that the old id be marked as inactive. Be sure to give them the 6 character code- and don't mention your new code in the same email lest they confuse the two and you have to start the process all over again.

I was lucky when this happened to me that my failing machine was still somewhat responsive so I was able to change my old accounts name rather than mess with the new one.
