[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1514301, member: 56379"] If the issues this computer is having is somehow related to OS issues or software that is installed on the internal HD...three things can be done: - boot the computer from an OS install DVD - boot the computer from an external HD with the proper OS version for the computer installed - completely wipe & reinstall the OS on the internal HD (last resort) If you can do any or all of these things...great. If not...then you need to get what you need in order to do them. This is just one possible troubleshootoing step...and it may not lead to an answer. But it is easy to do...and if the computer had a working optical drive & you has an OS install DVD...then it would also cost nothing (cheap troubleshooting step). - Nick [/QUOTE]
