Will XP support Office 2007?
Yes. I am running it now.
I prefer Vista 64 though.
If you look closely at the motherboard, it should tell you which connection is the USB. It’s usually in little writing on the board.
I just bought a computer last night on line for my mother. I wanted to get something with limited stuff packed onto the hard drive and ended up going with a model at
Tigerdirect.com
I purchased this item: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3403941&CatId=4036
100% made in the USA and their support is excellent. I could spend less and get more stuff but I get to start out with a pretty empty hard drive and put MY stuff on it and it will be plenty fast.
Yes.
As others have said, it sounds like your current power supply has left for greener pastures. It's quite possible one or the other voltages(12v/5v)has failed in the supply. This allows some signs of life yet the machine won't start. It probably is time to get a new computer though.
