Hmmm. You may not be able to download, and burn a CD in a library, or then again you may be able to do so.
If you are on about the Windows menu that pops up when you press F8, then there are a couple of Safe Mode options, possibly even 3, one with networking, one with command prompt and one just plain Safe Mode. I'd pick just the plain Safe Mode for starters.
If you do get to burn a RIP cd at the library, then I'd personally pick the no X version, but that is command prompt only stuff, and possibly not for beginners, but that depends on how good the instructions are for changing the XP password.
Sorry for the delay in replying to this, I've had to drive to Wales to fix my sister's computer, since I last posted. Hard drive errors. Could be because the motherboard is some 8 or 9 years old, or that they probably have 2 or 2 power cuts a week. And that's killing the HDD.
