[QUOTE="mistmouse, post: 31499, member: 289"] OK, for now the computer is working somewhat. I am sure it is only a matter of time before I will have to replace the hard drive. I am afraid to attempt to try to do setup and install the OS. I think I will wait and see how much it lets me do. If I have to install another hard drive, is it going to let me use the recovery disks or am I going to have to buy an OS of my own. I talked to my friend again and he swears it will not let me register it on a second computer and that it will only let me use it for a limited time without registering due to piracy rules. I don't know if it is going to let me do what I need to on it or not, but I will find out. It is doing a virus check now, since I had to redownload the Avast as when I used the recovery disks it wasn't there anymore. The strange thing is it was freezing on downloads so I had to go and download a download manager to be able to download the Avast. I really just want to be able to turn on a computer and use it...either opening a program and having it do what it is supposed to, or getting on the internet. I am not a technical person. mistmouse [/QUOTE]
