Hi Anna; Thank you for the great hope but, not in this case. I am going to have a technician look at it. When it starts it is stuck in the Bios mode. Take care. Mike

After assigning Notepad to open .txt files and Outlook Express to open .eml files some strange things happened. First, when I tried to open an .eml file, when I would press enter it would take me back to my Inbox. I thought after making these changes I had better reboot and that is where it really got strange. I gave the computer the commands to restart and it wouldn't, then I did a hard shutdown, and when the computer shuts down there is a ticking sound coming from the computer, like a clock ticking. When I try to start it up a screen comes up showing the computer specs and a message to " press DEL to enter SETUP ." This doesn't do anything. I plugged in a USB mouse so my wife could possibly click on " DEL " but, the mouse doesn't seem to work either. I tried to start it in safe mode and it comes up with the same screen that gives all the computer specs like what kind of RAM, processor speed, and things like that. Oh, and that message to "press DEL to enterSETUP ". Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get Windows started? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care.
