Karl...hi.. If. I disconnect from the internet on Windows XP.. I have NO way of doing anythin on it...even thos it isn't working.
I can disconnect and use the Laptop .. Wireless..WI-Fi...If it will still communicate..(.minus the ethernet./modem ethernet cable.). work on the Laptop
Is that possible ?.. I sure have no idea.

LPT .. lets not worry about your XP machine until you have downloaded and burned Ubuntu...Once you have done that, let us know and we'll walk you through the rest!
Barefoot,
The idea was to disconnect the desktop which has the problems from the internet.
Remember she has a problem with the XP desktop. Personally, I think she is better off fixing that problem rather than putting a 2nd OS on the desktop and still having the problem.
Lets take care of her primary problem before we start talking about imaging ... it cuts down on the confusion..
M'Lady;
Here is a screen shot of the "Safe Mode". You get to "Safe Mode" by tapping the F8 key while booting. It sounded like, from your eailer description, the SB tech had you attempt the "Last Known Good Configuration" utility. If it works, it will restore XP to a point before you removed any programs. If it was already tried and / or did not work, then reinstalling XP may be your only option.
