At least doing re-install isnt as bad ait used to be when i first
started o windows about 1993 or so hen you used to have to have about
15 floppies and umpteen othersfor support oftware and took forever
and you couldnt even leave it for a few minutes.
I keep all my key software on an extrernal usb drive. This saves so
much time and means i dont need to find install cds etc.

Just a thought on the locking up problem, does he do a ctl-alt-del to
then close down individual items to establish if there is one program
thats causing a problem.
Ive had freezing from time to time and found a largish file/program
called "dump" and by closing it down cured the freeze.

Yes he restarted a minimal system and all was ok but tried to introduce
other progs but then the story to me got a bit muddy so i shall have to
leave him there i think ;-) his patience level has been exhausted :)

a ride!!
