Hi,
The engineers seemed to start the Jaws installation without installing a
graphics driver. That is the mistake!

Hi Dorothy
My hard drive was just cluttered with register files of old programmes
and=20
had a couple of bugs that I couldn't fix, like not being able to shut it
down. I haven't done a fresh install for at least two years and the old
thing was getting a little sluggish. This is why I decided to format.
I'm by no means an expert, so I did a little research on the net. I
needed=20
my girlfriends eyes for a lot of the process, but it went something like
this.
1. Set the bios so that load from cod is the first thing that the
computer=20
does.
2. Put the Windows disc in and it loads from disc. Part of the process
is=20
an option to format the hard drive.
3. Once Windows was loaded, we installed the mother board drivers, then
the=20
sound and graphics drivers.
4. Next, we started loading the programmes I want, starting with Jaws
and=20
including firewall and anti-virus. Once Jaws was on, I could work on
the=20
machine alone.
5. Then I set up my internet connection and downloaded the Windows
up-dates.
6. Over the next couple of days, I messed with the settings until I had
it=20
set up the way I want.
I'm surprised that your so-called engineers had so much problem if a guy
with little experience helped by a girl with next to no experience of=20
computer maintenance can do it. Still, I must have done something wrong
for=20
Jaws to be mis-behaving, although I think this is down to the messing
over=20
the last couple fo days. If all else fails, I can always do a system=20
restore to a couple of days ago.
Regards
Barry
