The battery may be fried, but I am doing everything with the power supply connected and functioning.
I am not sure how to play a CD without booting the computer. I am planning on taking it in to a shop tomorrow.

So the memory is presumably OK - That leads on to something else generating memory problems possibly Excessive heat Lack of power Is the battery OK Well, using mains power, can you play a music CD without booting windows on that system Can you do it using the battery What if the system gets an 8 hour charge and - if the battery is giving up - then avoid doing anything that would be expected to stop the system working if you do not complete it - It is beginning to sound as if you need to take the PC to a service place where the staff can check the battery, memory, CPU and drive separately JimB -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
