Bill

I have to see her again tomorrow and I will advise her of what you said. Thats a good idea about getting another one.

You were a great help and have absolutely nothing to be sorry for.

thanks again, your help was much appreciated.

THanks Joe,
I Tried, Downgrading is tough (BIOS), but I can not reccomend down grading the BIOS.
Although I am not sure that was the problem. You or you client can always PM me and I will assist in anyway I can.
Thanks,
Bill

hey i am about 15, i was offerd a job with Geek Squad this summer after school, so just because i am new to this site doesn't mean i am new to computers.

Now your computer, i have the same one, you can't reinstall the video card after you have put XP on it, i have tried. You have to go back to Vista, If you can find a driver for it on Xp, you are lucky. what i would do is reinstall vista on the same Partion, so when you boot it gives you an option. Thats what I do. So that way you can play games on vista or do what ever you want with that, and if you need to work you can go to XP if that is what you are used to.
