Oh my god. That's an OLD laptop we're talking about!! :o I say toss it and get a new one... I have an old one I'm on the verge of getting rid of myself. They only get worse, the faster/newer ones, though pricy, are a billion times better.

Best thing to do is leave it alone. Instead take it to a professional. Like a computer shop. I think Best Buy does stuff like that where they will fix your computer. Try it!! Good Luck

If your laptop is really that old, that'd be a low-end 486 processor anyway. Is it really worth it to keep it alive at this point? It likely might be that the harddrive inside it is dying. A laptop from 1985-1992 era would have great difficulty running Windows 95, must less Windows 3/3.11/etc.

Sorry hun, I know where your coming from, I did the exact same thing! Call a computer shop, and see about having your computer put in to be fixed, It's gonna' run you about $65.00 to have Windows installed back onto your computer.
