I say reinstall your system or restore it. Use that disk that came with your system seems like you got a bad case of having a old computer.

I would also install WinXP or Win2K and higher.

Thank you for your reply. I will have to read up on how to save my "stuff", but I guess I am up to it. Thanks again for your assistance.

Ok that was easy ha good deal keep us informed on what is going on.

Thanks for asking for an update. Please understand, I am a 56 year old lady in Texas and it was my daughter that got me into having a computer, All of this is really new to me, but I try. I did as you suggested and reformated and re set up my system. I tried the restore tape but it came across problems it could not repair. I have been able to reinstall everything except my printer. When I first tried to set it up , after the reformating, I got a notice telling me I needed to run Quicklink111 before it would install my printer. I did that. Then when I tried to install the printer I got a thing telling me to enter information for setting up a fax system. I can't seem to get passed some form of either that message or one that says my printer is not connected correctly...it is still connected the same way it was when I stsrted. If you could help me with that I sure would appreciate it. Thank you.Murphy

My printer is a HP845C connected to a HP pavillion III

So if your just having printer problems now? You just want your printer to work correct?

If that is all that is needed plug your printer via USB or the huge printer port.

Download the proper drivers needed for your operating system and you should be fine. Give it a try holler for questions.

I have the disk that came with my computer so what I had to do was uninstall my printer completely and re install it from the disk. I sure do thank you for your help. I now have it all up and going again. I'm sure this isn't the last you have heard from me. I screw up a lot.lol Murphy
