Vista - Lotsa issues with CPU need technical assistance please.

09-02-2008

I have a 8580C HP pavillion, 10 years old and still kickin it (win98). Has
some isssues though. I'm trying to update via microsoft web site. I can't. It
scans and shows INSTALL, once I hit install.... nothing. I did some digging.
Tried the CMD from run "cannot find the file cmd (or one of its components).
I tried the restore defaults. I tried alot of stuff I read on Microsoft web
site now it seems worse. Well, I thought microsoft would have the cmd file. I
can't find it on your site????? Recovery disk lost. Please help. Don't we
keep this stuff on hand for the average Joe even if its only 10 years old?

In a word, no.
Try asking for help with your computer in a general "fixit' forum for
computers.
