My dad got an old IBM thinkpad from work its a T21 Pentium 3.It has MS Office 2000. I had a wireless card connected in it and I had it working for a few days. I tried Installing Commview for WiFi on it and it said it was going to replace the drivers for the wireless card. So I installed it then it said I had to restart the computer so I restarted and now when its says Windows is Starting Up.... When the bar starts loading it gets to a little over half way then totally freezes. I have tried restarting it many times, same thing every time. I can boot it in Safe Mode though and I tried Restoring it from a few days ago and it didnt work. I also uninstalled commview and replaced the drivers for it and it still freezes on start up. I would really like to fix it because its a pretty good laptop and I got it for free. So if anyone has any ideas for fixing it I would greatly appreciate it! Also, just incase my dad knows a ton about computers so I'm sure any ideas you have he will be able to try it. Thanks so much and I will appreciate any help!
