First you can get more information from the POST beep. (Power-on self-test (POST)). Using another PC from a friend or work search for this list on line. If you get one long beep there is an issue with the main board. Try taking out the memory and reseating each card. Also make sure the power connections to the mother board are good and tight.

Could be the User Account is damaged. Can u click F8 on startup and sign on as administrator? If so, go into control panel and into users and create a new user then restart the computer and sign into this new account.

Then you should be able to go into you C drive and retrieve the documents from the damaged user account.

Let me know if I can be of any more help.

Make sure in the windows media player options you have selected the corect drive as your burner. hope this helps in some way

The manual is at... http://www.manualslib.com/manual/46776/Emachines-13.html?page=4&term=panel&selected=0 See page 46 "Removing the side panel".

What's plugged into it?

Your desktop computer does not have a wireless adapter.

Looks promising. It's an INF fie which are driver files. Download, extract, and direct Device Manager where to install driver from. The worst that can happen is it won't install, or you have uninstall / delete. Better than those fake drivers you mentioned.

Check cables, connections, pins, If you have a Graphics Card, reseat it. Sound like a connection or graphics issue. Do you have a can of Electronic's Contact Spray? I use it for cleaning connector, PCI slots, etc., Where copper connections oxidation occurs. May be a simple reset or bad Graphic Card. Hard to say for sure.

Did you check W7 compatibility before install? It is likely that your low-end RAM-based graphics was a bust.

Purchase MS Office online or a local vendor. Check it out.http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/buy/office-2010-which-suite-is-right-for-you-FX101825640.aspx

We had a problem like this with one of our PCs and it was a very nasty virus that needed specialist help, they had to reload all the software. Suggest you get access to another PC and find out if it is a virus. Sorry!

I would look inside at the power supply IF you can get to that for puffed up caps---if found you can either replace them (seen some with several bad) or look for a generic replacement power supply.Usually here it will begin by being hard to turn on at first but once on will operate--sooner or later it will not come on at all.

must be easier to move the hd to a hd-caseing and start transfer to a another computer......to much time-consuming.

Most desktops do Not have wifi built in and specs for this unit do no show wifi , you usualy need to add a wifi dongle in a usb port or add a card.

then the dvd player needs to be replaced with a new one
