Lovely to see so many helpers out there!
We have a problem start up...
XP operating system
1.Goobly-gook wording on the start up screen, missing letters and ocassional heavy vertical lines... some winging type symbols in text lines... some letters arrive slowly to fill in the missing spaces...
2. Options to safe mode etc (will start in safe mode)
3. When starting windows in 'normal', it crashes to grey screen after the windows icon picture.
We are on the third new hard disk... second network card... new power supply, new hard disk cooling case, new tower case, and an ever shortening fuse with the 'expert company' that is trying to fix the problems... and wish we would dissapear...they have "never seen anything like it before", but I'm sure someone here has.
Any ideas out there other than a new machine?
