rx7freak......did you get a operating system disk with the pc ? Sound like possibly they formatted the system before putting it up for auction and someone neglected to revise the sign in feature .....You have just tried hitting the enter key when that sign in window appears haven't you .
What is the operating system thats installed ?

let us know

dl65....No I did not get an OS disk with it, but is trying to open windows 2000 with nt technology.  I am going to try what Merlin_2 is suggesting. I'll let you guys know what happens either way.
Thanks rx-7freak

Can't you just ask the person that put it up for sale, or is that impossible in an auction......
