    Nothing can be saved
    « on: November 29, 2005, 03:46:36 PM »
    This e-mail was sent to me by a friend

    "I have a computer for the kids at home that I got from work. The only problem so far is that nothing can be saved. Every time the computer is rebooted a message comes up "Do Not Save To the C: Drive...Any Saved Information Will Be Lost The Next Start Up"      not in these exact words but pretty close. The kids can't save anything because as soon as you turn the computer off it's gone when they restart. I'm assuming that this has been set up by the site administrator so it can't overload the computer with saved crap. I was just wondering what your thoughts would be on this and if you know of a way to change things over so that the kids can start saving things without the frustration of losing information all the time."

    Could it need ram?
    Or a change in the BIOS?

    Will post OS when the person who e-mailed me this replies to my request for that info.

    Thanks,
    Kellee

    The OS would be important to know. It could surely function normally if the Operating System were reinstalled. Do you have a CD for that?

      I thought about going out on a limb here, but was afraid someone would chop it off. ;D

          Sounds like a good Idea.

          Thanks
