Cyrnel, thanks a lot for the advice (on both the computer problem and War of the Worlds). Unfortunately I don't know her Dell model number and won't know until I go over there later, so I won't be able to post it on here until after the fact or until I've given up for the day in what I'm sure will be horrible, frustrating failure. But I will indeed look it up when I get the chance.
Basically I've taken a bunch of the links you guys have given me, weeded out what I think I can use, am going to print them out, and take them over there just to see what I can come up with. I'll let you know tonight or tomorrow how I fared.
Thanks again for all the help.
