uggghhhh... Jathan, I hope you're not reading this

Since we've got the DSL connection, my nephew, Jathan, has left his new laptop here for updates and installation of various utilities.

I got the 26 Critical MS service packs installed last night. However, after I tried to install the "Default Applications" control pannel, things have so not been happy. The computer is now hanging in a mannor similar to when Mark's Lifebook had an intermittent HD failure.

Uggh... I now want to fdisk and reinstall. I'm going to get a clearance from Jathan's father before reinstalling. I'm not sure if what email address the antivirus was registered under.
