To begin with, this is my first computer at age 67. Altho I bot it from Dell
7/98, I'm still a novice.
It's an XPS400, Pentium ll
128MB-SDRAM,
14.4GB EIDE Ultra ATA Hard Drive - all factory installed.
Windows 95-4.00.950b
I have upgraded Explorer to IE5.50
In the middle of looking up info in the Internet my computer suddenly froze.
I can't remember all the details because it happened a few months ago except
I had a black screen and nothing worked. I called Dell and they weren't
very helpful. I inserted the Windows 95 disc that they had sent me but it
wouldn't run. To make a very long story short, I finally got The Windows 95
disk to run on "Safe Mode" which it's on now. I have no sound, no working
printer, only a few programs that work and altho hooked to the cable, a
computer that takes forever to do anything and I'm constantly rebooting it.
Before I'm forced to buy another computer (I'm on a fixed income), I thought
I'd finally try "you" as you've all been a tremendous help for past
problems.
What can I do next?
Thanks, David
