My computer got slower and slower in late October.\u00a0 And then it stopped altogether!\u00a0 My diagnosis was that a virus got me.\u00a0 The truth was revealed by my tech (my grandson who troubleshoots for Broadview University students and faculty)–my hard drive\u00a0 just gave up.<\/p>\n
My system is easily 7 years old for one processor and 10 years for the processor at my library.\u00a0 So he saved all of my files.\u00a0 Then, he installed a new drive.\u00a0 And tried to install Windows 7.\u00a0 Neither processor could take the new program.\u00a0 Stopped cold!\u00a0 Both of them.<\/p>\n
Option one:\u00a0 reinstall Windows XP.\u00a0 Now reinstalled.<\/p>\n
Option two:\u00a0 Buy a new system.\u00a0\u00a0 Right after Christmas, I will get a new system which my grandson\u00a0 will install.<\/p>\n
