Please don't use all caps. You could try tapping F8 after the initial BIOS screen but before the Windows load screen and from the menu choose "last known good configuration".

Guest Peter Foldes Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Re: WINDOWS UPDATE First do not use caps for posting. It is considered shouting and it is very hard to read. When buying a used computer be it Desktop or Notebook the best thing that you can do is to reformat the system since you do not know what you can have in way of Virus\Malware\Trojan I would reformat and install the OS with a clean install. Did you get the CD disk with your purchase?? If not then you have a problem. -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

Guest Laughingstar~* Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Re: WINDOWS UPDATE It is considered rude to you all caps, in a corresponsondence, or a NG. IOW, it means you are shouting at your readers.
