PC Problems Q&A thread

Here's my problem:

I have one of those IBM Computers where settings are locked in. Every time I turn off the computer, the settings RETURN to the original way they were.

If I set the Desktop to Windows XP, it returns to Classic upon Shut Down. I'm trying to install a wireless antennae into the computer but upon installation, requires you to turn off the cpu and resume installation when in turns back on.

However, with my settings, the process just keeps restarting again because of my computer not saving ANY changes. Even when I put my external HDD in, it always reads it as new hardware.

I need to get rid of this annoying feature.

CAN ANYBODY PM me some help???
