My old computer is seeing its last days. I worked on this piece of shit all night just to get back online. Re-installed Windows because IE is screwed. I have to cheat the explore to get a browser window. But If I click on my IM, it hangs up still. When I do a ctrl alt delete, it says winserve is busy. Guess I will have to erase this HD and do a clean install. I forgot the key commands to go to dos to format my HD. Can some one post the steps for me? I will try and log on from work but, I can't surf from work. Its a new job. I have a new computer but haven't set it up for the internet. The genius of SBC has a different modem for each operating system. The new one has XP. Don't know if I will be able to respond again. Got lucky this morning. But I can see the site and can read replies. Thanks Legs |

3.5" floppy of DOS 6.0 and ctrl alt del. when it comes up... format c: (or whatever drive it is) In my case (my 3.5" in my Dell went south for the 2nd time) I'd try safe mode and then go to DOS, then format c: (or whatever). My 'puter hates IE ever since phone lines got struck by lightning and burned out the internal modem. I replaced it with an external (usb), and ever since it's really bitchy about connecting to every e-mail server I've had. You have my sympathies... |
