Aw I know Andy. It's horrible when people do that to you. But at least it's
getting sorted eventually.

Hi all.
Thanks everyone for all your advice.
I've not yet contacted the seller as there is another on-going issue which
has not yet been resolved. The computer I purchased from him for £150,
required an engineer to take it apart and reload all the drivers and OS.
The computer arrived at my address in a cardboard box with no packaging.
When I opened the box, the right side panel was off and I could not find any
screws. The computer continuously crashed during boot-up. The engineer
said that everything inside was filthy and most of the connections were
slack. The hard drive was hanging off and the computer required to be
cleaned, taken apart, tested and software reinstalled. He charged me £ 70.
So I paid £225 for a home made xp home computer which was a few years old.
I felt that although I had been conned, there was no way, that I'd get my
money back from a re-cycle it list member. I was for this. reason prepared
to bite the bullet and take it. However, this new thing about counterfeit
operating system has just sickened me. I got Pauline to look at the CD and
the package and she says that both are blank. Neither is a Microsoft
product, so unfortunately, the chances are that I was also sold an illegal
copy of XP home. Microsoft advise that this problem can be resolved for
£99, which would bring the cost of my second hand xp home computer, which
incidentally, is home built, up to £324. Am I going crazy or what?
I have written to Graham, rather than the seller, to give him a chance to
offer to pay for the OS. If I contact the seller directly, , I'll just end
up loosing my temper.
Very best wishes.
Andy
