Perhaps - but since PC's these days are generally warrantied to run Windows, if that happened, back to the store for a return, eh? Some machines are even sold with Windows preloaded, if you can believe it - I think a retailer would have a hard time claiming that a machine that was preloaded with Windows and that Windows couldn't run for more then 5 minutes on, wasn't a canidate for a warranty return! Of course, we ARE assuming the OP used NEW hardware, not some crappy, grungy 5 year old discard PC, right? Because if that was the case, then he got what he deserved, eh? Ted
