Log is clean. An upgrade from ME should be considered if the machine can support Windows XP.

Thanks Tarun, an upgrade is a definate no-no, believe it or not this is the only computer in a business where I know the people, it is running on a p266 processor and 2gig hard drive, I never even bothered checking the rest of the specs.

2 gig hardrive? holy crap thats rediculous. you can buy a 50 gig for under 20 if you really wanted to

She could buy a nice new computer for about $500.

The company who's computer it is, is struggling at the moment, but I am sure as soon as business picks up then Sandy will talk them in to buying a new computer. Even though she is only an accounts/admin girl, she seems to be able to boss the bosses about.
