dancing Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 (edited) could be you are logged in without admin priveledges or the system is set to not accept certain types of files with windows xp prof. there should be a back up partition and you can run that and it will set the computer to it's original settings First, talk to the person who gave it to you if possible. Did it come with the disks for winxp pro and drivers? Edited July 8, 2006 by dancing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
