If this computer is new, then contact the maker with the problem. You 
are under warranty for problems. For example, call Dell if it's a new 
Dell. It sounds to me like you bought a second hand computer. If that's 
the case, I would format the hard drive and install XP before going any 
further. Just start with a clean install of XP with all it's updates. Be 
sure the USB is enabled, format, and install. Are there other reasons 
you don't want to do a clean install of XP?
