Well you don't supply much information re OS and what other things are happening and specifically what you mean about typing disappearing. If it is that old I wouldn't bother tinkering with it, there are so many good cheap second hand computers that people are desperate to get rid of just because they have W98 and a 10gb hd, but these pc's will easily handle word processing.
I was speaking to a director of a computer parts company a few weeks ago and he had 50 computers he couldn't give away so he had to dump them and pay a tax in the process. Do a Google for Freecycle to see if there is a site/ scheme in your area, it is similar to Ebay BUT items offered are FREE and you might just find a computer. Rupert O^O--------------- Rupert's Reply To ---------------O^O My friend has an old old computer......her daughter wants to use it to type papers for school and that's pretty much it. When the wordpad program is open and you start to type, it disappears. The computer does a few other strange things as well. Is there a way to restore the computer if you don't have the discs???
