| 344830 | 2005-04-15 11:12:00 | When you said PC Computers I thought it was a company down south...... PC Company on the other hand...... as has already been said don't make good top of the line computers. I know this because I have a PC Company case, that holds a PC Company PSU, floppy & modem. Thats about all thats original as the rest crapped out 3 months after the warranty ran out (12 month warranty). Supposedly at the time, this model was the one under top of the line (couldn't quite afford the top of the line model). Funnily enough, the company went defunct soon after my CPU |

That is what I did with son in laws puter, when I got sick of trying to get rid of spyware, adware, viruses's and trojans. Don't get nearly as many now, and don't have to spend hours trying to clean out his puter. LOL I think if SP2 can be installed it would be better for her,more automatic stuff. When I find out from lads if compatible,I will also install Firefox. When I said top of the line,I meant top of PC Companies line,it's all in the wording :) . Press,remember to check your compatibility too. :thumbs: |

I would go to Windows Update (v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com) and let it scan the computer to see if it is ready, if it is, get a copy on CD and install it to save the download. Firefox is also a good idea and Thunderbird for the email client. Thunderbird is many times safer for a novice to use. Note I said safer not easier, altho the learning curve is not that big. |
