Hi, this is my first post in this forum and i really hope u can help me!
Ok, i'll strt off by telling u what computer i have and then the problem!
The make is Tiny, it has an amd 64 mobile athlon 3700+ processor
2.39 GHz, 1 gig RAM
microsoft windows XP home version 2002 sevice pack 2
ATI Radeon 9600/9700 graphics card
Now my problem is.... I had trouble connecting to a wireless network with my built in wifi, so i decided to use the reload disc that came with my computer to put it back to factory sttings so that i could start a fresh, but it didnt work and said the disc wouldnt work with my system, and something about an ata controller, so i put the comuter back on and then decided to upgrade to windows xp pro that my girlfriends dad had, it sarted initializing and so on and then said couldnt load file "blaa blaa" and then said it could not continue, said i gave up and turned off the computer.
i left it a while and started it again during start up it gave me the option to continue setup for xp pro or use home edition (what my computer started with) and when it came on the screen resolution wasnt right so i right clicked on my desktop and went to properties but this didnt have any of the stuff it used to have because the graphics card wont start on start up it says ati control panel couldnt start no driver is installed or is not working properly, when i turm my laptop on i have to go to device manager and enable it myself. (i then downloaded an ati control panelso i can change settings on my graphics card.)I cant use system resore either it wont let me go back any further then a couple of days ago when i did all this also I cant change my sceensaver either, when i go to control panel, display, all i get is a small window showing themes!
when i restart my computer its like it forgets the changes i have made! What have i done! Any help would be really really appreciated! many thanks!
