Hey Tunder, been there done that, I know how aggrivating it can be. My recommendation is to get a copy of windows 98 still the best in my opinion. I tried xp - a virus waiting to happen. If you can back up all your files on disk; do so, then wipe out your hard drive via C:format, reinstall windows 98 and you will never, ever have a problem again. WE do what we can to help our members! Stay away from M1 and his basement. You will understand one day. I hope this helped. Mikey from S fla.

ok make sure CD is in computer, now shut the computer down wait about 1 minute then start computer back up ok heres the tricky part it might take a couple tries keep pushing the Delete button see if that brings up your boot menu, if that dont work try the ESC top left botton on keyboard but everytime u need to shut down computer and wait 1 minute and last one is press F1 key now with all of these you have to keep pushing the key dont just press it once keep pressing it tell you are able to get to your boot menu or your Bios settings, what you want to do is set your CDrom to the first boot so when you start th computer its going to boot from the CD first. try that see if it works.
if you have a dvd player hook it up unhook your cd player and hookup a dvd up. also u might want to see if u have a floppy u can hookup if dvd and cd don`t work then find a floppy boot disk so it can load the drivers.
