Thanks, Pete (and Surferdude) - the TweakUI route worked!
I just reinstalled a friend's OS (WinXP Home), and restored a backup of her My Documents folder on her D: partition. I apparently skipped a...
Excellent idea, Rockster! My slipstreamed disk didn't work on her computer - we got a message that some file was missing. On the other hand, my...
My WinXP Home CD was a "full installation" one, I think it's called. I paid extra for that, after reading that tip here! I'll give it a shot -...

Thanks for the additional suggestions. I won't be able to check back with my stepmother until tomorrow evening, but I'll be sure to post back...
Thanks for the reply! I'll try calling her this evening, and see if I can talk her through the BIOS setup. It just occurred to me this...
I'm posting for my stepmother, who lives 1000 miles away from me, and for whom English is a very tenuous second language. I've tried to get as...
Thank you, Pete! I'm now all up to date, and it wasn't even the traumatic ordeal I'd anticipated!
