Ken:
I was able to reboot by resetting the BIOS, but I ended up reformatting the hard drive and it allowed SP2 to be installed so I got past that hurdle but now I am having problems I think with zone alarm I am trying to reinstall some of the old programs that I had before, right now I can't even down load Hijack this it is blocked somehow.
and I think that I am getting infected all over again.
I just turned off Zone Alarm and I was able to download HJT I will leave a post.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I keep getting this alert from ZA:
ZoneAlarm Pro blocked access to port 139 on your computer 2-17-06 5:10 am
No breach in your security has occurred. Your computer is safe.
What happened?
ZoneAlarm Pro prevented a remote computer from connecting to port 139 on your computer. If you are sharing files on a local network, this connection attempt was probably legitimate network traffic. Port 139 is commonly used by networked Windows computers to enable file sharing and other resource sharing. However, if the traffic that generated this alert came from the Internet rather than a local network, this may have been attack on your computer

Ken:
You say you like Zone Alarm ... is there a site I can go to learn how to use it better than what zone labs has to offer because I don't really understand how it works and I think I got my settings all screwed up, but when I down loaded ZA most settings were disabled .. that may be because I now have SP2 working on this computer.
Ken whatever you do please don't leave me now because you are helping me get back on track since Sunday I have had a death in the family and I have other family members who's house caught on fire during the snow storm and they are displaced, My mom is in a nursing home. I have been dealing with all of that and a bunch of my own medical problems.
but in between these problems I am trying to get this computer working again.

You seem to have had a time with it.
You cant load windows xp from a floppy, you need to put in the windows CD and have the bios set to boot from the CD. It gets kind of tricky if you havent done this before. Most computers use the F2 key, but yours may be different, you may have to call the manufacturer and ask what key you use to get into the Bios. It may tell you when you start up. Turn the computer on and keep pressing the F2 key ( or whatever one they tell you ) until the bios loads, and then look for the BOOT ORDER and change the first boot device to the CD Rom, and the second to your Hard drive. It may be set like this already, just put the windows disk in and restart the computer and see what happens, if it asks you if you want to reinstall windows, go for it. Choose the NTFS file system to install windows.
If you have the windows cd, you should not have a problem reinstalling the OS, all my computers have been built with nothing but OEM software. Thsi should not make a difference.
Crush, we dont do email on this forum but you can log on and PM me if you like.
