I have an old computer that has XP on it and 2 years agao it quit and would just go in a boot cycle over and over. What can I do to get it working again? And no I do not have the CD's it came with, but I do have the CD's for a new Vista computer will that work? Or what eles can I do. Check to see if I can fined someone that has an XP disk?

No, the Vista disks won't help.

How far into the boot-up does it go before recycling? :coffee:

It will get to the Windows XP screen and then reboots.
