• Why do this I hear you say, well, after months of erratic behavior (from the P.C. not me) I came to the conclusion the motherboard was rooted.
• I didn’t want to spend a lot on a new board but unfortunately due to the age of the p.c. no new boards supported my processor, ram, or even the agp video card.
• I spoke to some tech guys all of which said “do a clean install of Windows or the pc will blue screen you on boot”
• BULLSHIT • Well I managed it with no problems.

The repair• O.K. This is the trick. insert
the windows disk boot into it. Then ask it to install windows, it will detect a previous copy of windows and will ask if you would like to repair it, say yes.
• Don’t use repair console directly otherwise you will end up loosing all your cool settings that took years to get just right

• Then boot up, install new motherboard drivers and utilities, update bios via flash utility, install graphics card drivers, run a program called dial-a-fix to repair the windows auto update function, and bob’s your uncle, one fully functioning P.C.
• Tech Guys are lazy fuckers!!!
