im pretty confident that i followed the steps you gave me as god as i could but all i got was the usually beeping when i kept tapping the del. key until it got to the options of running in safe mode and all the other ones. and when i put the cd in i hear the computer start to get busy for about 5 seconds then it quits.

It can also be that you keep tapping F2 or F1 so try those in that order

i took the memory chip out of there and dont have the time right now to put it back in and find out what the message says but im pretty sure it just says "could not get (ELUA) end user license agreement" and then something like, cannot run, then it gives me like 10 seconds til it restarts or i can hit esc to restart. but if its a must, this evening i can try n start it up again and get the exact words

It's a new one to me, and as it's a small file there isn't a reason the CD should not find it

i think im just gonna use a different computer that no one uses. which brings me to another question. if i had a virus or anything like that on my computer and took out the memory card from it and put it in another one would it take the virus with it or how does that work

No, it wouldn't transfer because it doesn't retain anything without being constantly in use and powered
