*advanced computer users, I NEED your help.

When it comes to computer problems, there are lots of reason that will slow down the computer from virus to motherboard to power supply and even at one time my video card was causing problem during my bootup.

When's the last time you update your motherboard Flash BIOS?

If you need to backup your mp3 files, depends on how many and how much space you need. Get another harddrive and transfer all the files to the 2nd hard drive, then do a OS reinstall.

I can lend you a WIN98 disk if you still have the key, then use the XP Home edition to upgrade to Windows XP.

Hope that helps.
