Hi
I have aquired an old P4 3.4ghz model with 250gb HD and 1gb Ram running XP.
Problem is it is proper knackered.
1st thing I did was put in the Recovery disk to try and reload XP. It doesn't seem to have made any difference at all.
Takes an age to start XP then whatever I try to do won't open.
I have a USB Mem stick with CC cleaner which I am trying to transfer to it but it doesn't even pick up the USB stick in My Computer.
I have installed a Wireless Card and have tried to install drivers and software from the disk but it keeps failing to install the drivers/software.
Just gone to MSconfig turned all unneccesary programs off and rebooted (5 mins later it's still shutting down)
Trying to diagnose problems when nothing opens is impossible.
Anyone got any advice ??
