....or spend a little time reading through here, where you will find hundreds
of posts outlining the procedures you need to undertake. All the good posts will also reccommend that you take it to someone who genuinely knows what they are doing, if you don't feel competent enough to tackle it yourself, especially if you have data in the machine that you don't want to lose. If there isn't such data present, FLATTEN IT and reinstall it from scratch ! regards, Richard "sgopus" wrote in message ... Take it to a knowledgable person and have them take care of the problem.

As already suggested, it's probably wisest for you to have a skilled tech look at your computer, as this isn't as simple as you may think (I say this based on your phrasing in here). Note also that the best newsgroup for this sort of thing is microsoft.public.security.homeusers. |
