Update on dead computer -- a HP desktop with Windows XP Home.
Daughter bought a power supply for $20, installed it, and the computer
runs.
She mentioned afterwards that a downloaded iTunes video would play
only very slowly. I asked her about her antivirus software -- she had
none. I advised to download AVG and Malwarebytes. She did, found
some viruses with AVG; Malwarebytes wouldn't install. Soon after
removing viruses, computer boots only to a blank screen but with
wallpaper. Safe mode shows only black screen but for "safe mode" in
four corners. No start button. Task Manager shows many processes
running including "b.exe" which might be a virus.
Because HP, no Windows CD available. Tried "boot to last good" but
failed -- same result. Tried everything else can think of short of
the HP recovery program. The recovery program starts from C: drive
and says that all applications will be deleted, OS repaired, but that
data will be retained. She worries that she will loose Dreamweaver,
which costs $500 but she got free when she was in a class at Eastman
School of Music two years ago. (Her full backup to external HD was a
year ago.)
By now, she might have tried the HP recovery program, don't know. Any
advise?

BIOS battery? Bad RAM?
There's some amazing deals coming up next week and for Christmas.
BLACK FRIDAY! YES!! Or she can buy $1100 worth of software with $1450
in rebates and use the difference to get a free computer.
