Wasn't satisfied with her machine not booting with the XP CD--still cannot boot with it. I have now tired booting my PC using my XP CD--NO PROBLEM. I find that very interesting but in an odd sort of way.
Just thought you'd like to know.
I have done a ton of reading about iTunes and QuickTime and have read of many instances where people are having troubles. Even read someone
paid about $3 per minute for Apple's Support!!! Not me--I won't pay such exorbitant prices, Those are OIL prices!!!
EDIT: Anyone with IPOD, iTunes or Quicktime experience in installing and using such software? We have the IPOD software CD and I assume it is the one that was used to install IPOD. I had nothing to do with it's installation and thus have no knowledge of it. I am afraid that if I run the CD she might lose all the music she has saved on her hard drive. I did run up the CD today and the first thing that was shown was the Ipod installation. I canceled and got otta there.

Not marking this one resolved but instead am just giving everyone a "work-around"---bought and am testing a new box. It has been suggested that her onboard video may have gone bad on the old box. Tomorrow I hope to take the old box to be fitted with such a card. Will let all of you know what I find out

I took her Duron box to a repairman yesterday. He and I took the drives, ram and HDD outta her machine and put them into a used Gateway box he had with a 450MHz CPU and a video card in it. to see what would happen. (I told him the 450 would be unacceptable----and it wasn't :rolleyes: )
Bootup was done just like it should; only very very slowly. Her files were seen just as though nothing had happened.
Is this info useful that will help you to make a judgment call on our trouble? I vaguely recall bootup was also done without using his video card. What is in his box that allows bootup??

With that old of a rig, XP had the drivers and it installed the drivers needed to include the video. Then again, they both may have had the same video card onboard. He lucked out!

To all who have helped me through another problem, I thank you and now I will mark this resolved. This link http://discussions.virtualdr.com/sho...d.php?t=197187 will tell you what I did. All is now fine!!!
