fuck windows. get Linux. Ubuntu is a great build and very user friendly once you know what you're doing. I ran it for close to 2 years on one desktop until the drive failed completely. its a good system.

windows is only good for videogames and those who are scared of linux.

xp pro 2002?

No it's just XP Professional. It bombed because dell probably loaded a bunch of extra crap on there (too compensate for 100 different hardware configurations).

Don't you have a recovery area on the HD? Dell restore cd?

XP Pro images are readily available around the web as are corp keys. start from scratch or recover the existing system (reference microsofts site for the walkthrough).

Ubuntu is fine, you may want to think about what you need out of the computer before you pick a version and you better do your research for hardware support. Vid cards\Peripheral\Sound Card\Tuners.

Sounds like you got hit by a virus and the antivirus, and virus had a little mutual annihilation fest.

Awww did you just turn 19? How sweet! Perhaps you should take that computer back to where you got it if you're having that much trouble? I have three computers and all are working fine (knock on wood)
