I also can't get into BIOS to configure the boot-up stage, because the laptop show this message : \system32\ntoskrnl.exe.
Please re-install a copy of the above file.

Now how does this crazy-assed laptop expect me this, when it can't even read the XP disc, or let me into BIOS ? Should I just take it out back and shoot it ?

I have a computer that's about 7-8 years old, I changed the OS to XP a few years ago, but now everything else is totally outdated on it and in it. Would you suggest buying a new one, or upgrading the one I have. Have any guess estimates on prices? I want to completely bring the insides up to par.
Suggestions?
I'd appreciate anything on the subject you have to offer, thanks!

I still get a lot of spam which goes into my bulk, but it really does get me down. I have another email address that I use but I do not use it to trawl through the internet I just keep it for emails.

How do you yourself avoid receiving spam and how do you deal with it. Or is it something we can do nothing about?

Need to connect to a Wireless Network. Pop-up window tells me that the WLAN- Wireless Assistant is on. With limited computing knowledge, it means "Assistant" as a person assisting and NOT the. actual Network, am I correct in my thinking. So, I do have a Firewall , which probably needs to be disconnected while I connect to a wireless network. Please respond- oh wise computer Expert!

I answered a question the other day and another person,not the one that asked the question,has been harassing me because he didn't like my comment.I did not say anything rude,mean,or vulger but,this person has taken it upon himself to be the answer police.My husband got upset because this whole thing upset me. So my husband sent this self-appointed "answer police" an email telling him he better Not send anymore emails to our address. Today in my mail I have another email from this freak, telling me I have no class,and then said,and I quote"**** you".To me that's pretty low class.So does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this?I don't want to tell my husband.He's a police officer and has more to deal with than this kind of stuff.But I also wanted to warn anyone new to this site,that maybe you don't want your personal info.shown.Any time in the past,when someone from this site emailed me,they were always so kind.I guess there's freaks everywhere.

On some websites I visit, all of the text is just like boxes. There are no letters or numbers. I have tried changimng it in every way I could, but I don't know what else to try, nothing has worked. I have tried going into my INternet Options and changing the font, but that did not work. Any suggestions or instructions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
