You don't give us much to work with. What operating system are you
running? What game did you try to install that caused the problem? Who
walked you through the fix, and what was the fix?

For the second computer problem, try booting from a floppy disk and see
if the drives can be accessed. Also, you may want to check the CMOS
configuration in case the battery went low and the settings got
scrambled. What kind of computer is it? Do you know how to get to the
CMOS configuration? If not, we need to know what BIOS you are running to
give you ideas on how to get to the setup menu. Often it is pressing the
DEL key during the startup process.

My kids installed a new game on the computer. The game managed to reset
the sysreg files and I had to be walked through the fix on it. Now the
problem is the video colors. I have reset them on the display to windows
standard colors, but they are still off. They seem to be lacking
yellow/green colors. or perhaps too much green and no red. Anyway, how
can I look into repairing this problem?

My second problem is on a tower that I want to fix, and if I can repair
it myself, even better. I have an older computer (ancient in computer
years) but that is still more than adequate for my needs. I had
forgotten what the problems were with it, so I plugged the monitor into
it and booted it...and it comes up "invalid drive". Now, how do I go
about convincing it that the drives are alright? Or do I just seek help
from a computer repair guy?
