The said computer a e-machine wasn't booting into windows and kept freezing, so I was thinking of putting my OEM windows disc on to it as they had there own key, I don't know if it would of worked as I have a HP machine.
As my son needed some more driving experiance before his test on Monday, he drove us over to pick up the computer Tower,and once home I immediately connected it up.
I initially got the same as it wouldn't boot into windows, saying some dll file was missing.
I went into the Bios just for a look, tried booting into safe mode and F10 to do a restore, but it wouldn't.
When I re-started it again it wouldn't do anything and I thought My God I've messed it up worse than it was.
This is the insides which I cleaned all the dust out of 1st before I connected it up ( which I forgot to mention ).
As the fans were running but I wasn't getting anything on the screen, I thought it might be the Graphics and considered putting in one of the old AGP cards I have.
But before that, I re-seated the Ram into the second slot and re-started and everything worked, well apart from windows still wouldn't boot.
Pressing F10 got me into a restore from the partition and then everything worked and XP was restored.
My reward for this was a lot more than I expected as I received 12 bottles of Hobgoblin.
Which I will try not to drink all at once.
