Yes. I suspect that's what the system needs. To be honest, if I was charging the 
lady, I'd tell her it was cheaper just to get a new computer. It's a Dell 2400 with 
a CD/DVD ROM, 128mb DDR and 40GB HDD. It's very basic. Her children appear to have 
been using it to access porn judging by the registry entries.

If I can fix it without a reinstallation that'd probably be best. I don't think the 
lady has a ton of money. I'm not too sure whether Dell's reinstallation partition 
works anyway.
