I used to know...

So I need advise.

My computer, as well as others in the house, are starting to fail, first media player dies, and cant be reloaded, then IE stopped working. Several other things are out of order as well. This happened with the failure of Symantec antivirus as well. Yes, I think we got something, there is a lot of it about…

I need to reload the operating system, and want to know what is the best way to do this. The Dell disks I have are not XP pack2, and as you know MS does not support updates that do not have service pack 2.

I have purchased a big USB HD that we are backing all important files onto, but how will we get a clean new system installed? This may have to be done to several computers.

Suggestions?

Bah! I used to know how to do this stuff…snort…stamp…

I wish I could help you...but honestly, I was never so great with system administration stuff to begin with. Have you thought about taking the computer int to a professional?
