my dad has an old dell thats broken and this is what happens
1. The mouse doesn't work, went to computer hardware and said it was recognized. Its a USB optical mouse. Keyboard is fine.
2. Seems to be an error with the pictures, THe icons are really zoomed in and everything is well idk how to describe: pixely and like more contrast, like turning up saturation on photoshop.
3. When you try to reboot, computer screen turns black, but won't shut off. This happens once in awhile when u try to turn it on.
4. When I try to solve problem 2 by changing resolution and color settings, however, it requires the system to restart, which is not possible due to problem 3.
5. The computer uses windows something not sure 95 or 90... idk its old.
I'm planning just to replace the hard drive and just install Xp would this work?
