BTDT, and decided to just let her have XP and buy her new disks every
year. I will stick with OS X. Took the Gateway laptop back to win98
so it can stop buggering up. Once 2k and/or XP were removed the thing
decided to work again. The HP came with 2k and is only used for the epc

Speaking of self-destroying, I have spent many hours in the past week
with
a self destructing XP machine that would not allow anyone to log in,
because it claimed it had to be activated. Once you click OK to
activate
it, the activation wizard comes up and says you can't activate it
because
it has already been activated! (it had been activated on
installation) There have been no hardware or software changes since
XP,
Office and MS small Biz accounting were loaded a few months ago. It
worked
fin the prior week, Monday it would not allow anyone to log in. I
spend
hours on the phone with MS tech support, and tried repairing from cd
multiple times before I even got to tech support. Anyone want to
guess
the
final word from the mothership?
They told you to buy a new copy of XP and load it on the PC; replacing
the
bad copy and saving your data?
