ya, as i reread that after i posted i figured i should add more info, but i coudlnt find an edit button.
operating system is XP ( i hope), hmm, my computer is pretty heavy on spyware and virus, we have Norton, Zonealarm, we sweep for virus about once a month. i think we have more too, but i dont know the names of them. and for the service packs, umm, how exactly would i find out.
it screwed up right after i hit apply, after i set it to WIndows XP, i hyave never had a problem with this computer before. the last tiem i installed somehting was about half a year ago.
