My mom's computer broke, help wanted.
I got an email from my mom today, I'm not there to look at it, but if anybody recognizes a problem, help would be appreciated.
Hi,
As I said on the phone, the XP screen comes on, the bar keeps moving on that screen but nothing else boots up. Then, after a long while, a little windos comes up that at the top reads: Isass.exe - Unable to Locate Component, then below says, "This application failed to start because" - then just the OK button to click on. That's it.
The tech support person told me to put the reinstall disc in then turn on computer and start hitting the F12 button continually til this screen comes up that gives you the different start up options. I think I tried opening it in safe modes (I think I tried booting up 3 different ways and none worked.) John then had an operating system (Knoppix) that Ron tried to burn with his CD burner but that didn't work so John is supposed to send me a disc so he can remotely work on the computer.
