Hey..it's me southern again...my computer is running great thanks to all your help, I maintain it regularly, and so far no problems..However my dads computer had a nervous breakdown, and we can't figure out what happened...he's running Vista, the computer shut down and would not boot back up, he had to reinstall XP just to get it to come back up, now it can't recognize the isp, so no online, and it is acting crazy, super slow, icons missing...he has 4 Gig of memory, so that's not an issue...what info do you need from me?..I will get it to you...thanks for your time...again...

Hi welcome back...
When you say you reinstalled XP I presume you mean you formatted the computer and installed XP, correct? When you reformat you wipe the drive, meaning EVERYTHING has to be reinstalled too. So you need to reinstall all drivers and hardware also. Did you do that? It sounds to me either that the reinstall of XP was done incorrectly, OR you only installed the operating system but nothing else to go with it. How did you do the reinstall?
