    Next, we are going to refresh the BIOS. Do you have an empty USB Flash drive at hand?
    Not to hand, but I think there's one in the other room

    Sorry :o:o

    I've given him his PC back for the weekend, but will be seeing him again on Monday.

    You did say about reinstalling Win Vista - is that really necessary?? :)

    Shall I just refer you back to post #27?

    The is the Techie Board. We don't do chit-chat, we just get the job done. :)

    Get it all ready, other it takes longer than necessary.

    Have you even followed the instructions within my PM? Get on with it!

    You don't have to run a clean install of the OS, but if you want to get the best out of the machine, you should.

    This is the only time I've ever heard of a Windows user actually skipping XP:)
