Charles Blake @BarBaraPrz do not do that. If you put it in a dishwasher then you can kiss it goodby. Turn off your computer unplug the keyboard get a can of air and turn the keyboard upside down and blow out the dirt.

Charles Blake @celticrogue if your motherboard is outdated then get a new one from ebay because 768 mb of ram is no ram and 40gb hard drive is way too small. get a new motherboard and harddrive and if you need help let me know

Charles Blake I agree with a lot of what you said. But you have programs that you are not using why not delete them they are serving no perpose. And you are right about reinstalling windows and because they have windows xp they can do a repair install and not lose anything....
