Hi,

Sorry about not replying sooner. I will do my best to give you some info.
The OS is Windows XP Pro SR2 and it has been on this computer since. I was
a custom build from an IT guy I knew a while ago. It is a Intel P4 3GHz
system and a 60 GIG HD. I will have to get the box out of my daughters room
and crack it open. I have a memory test on CD to check the system memory.
If that turns out it maybe the HArd drive. I hope not.
