actually i was a dumb forget and logged into a phishing site

My hijacker got my email through a hotmail security flaw and proceeded to recover my Steam account. :(
I had to get my email back before I could get my Steam back.

Wow. What a fail.
So far he's asked if my character uses magic 4 times. He's asked first off:
Does she have blond hair? No
Does she have red hair? Yes
Does she have black hair? No...
Does she have long blond hair? forget sake, no.
Does your character have orange hair? Yes!
Is your character red haired? Yes!!!
Then he asked:
Does your character live with his mother?

I think I've broken it.

Even though this is a long taking fix, can't you send in the computer with a list of all the issues, and the people will fix it?

That's an expensive and unneeded way to what could be an easy fix.
That's also a last resort.

I guess you can't boot into safe mode?
On boot, keep on pressing F8 and eventually you will be presented with a screen, which should let you choose Safe Mode.
I suggest running a Malwarebytes scan in Safe Mode.

it doesnt need special ink
its a pressure sensitive pen and stuff, ink is not even necessary really.

Unless you actually want to see what you are doing.
It doesn't require a computer straight away so you'll really need ink.

Anyway OP, looks good, gonna start saving, maybe :D
It got mentioned in my Graphics school yesterday.

They're already updated. :(

How are you determining this?
If you are using the tool in windows that tells you whether or not it is updated, it's never accurate. It will tell you that it is updated, when it isn't.

Go to start > run > dxdiag
And post the entire contents of the first tab, and the display tab. I'll help you update them manually.

ass forget, the rebate ended today

It's still only $500, that is your limit.
Don't be like the people who go on househunting programs, say "ooh we can spend $400,000", then when there is their dream house, for $400,000, they complain.

$450 with rebate. The processor is quad core, and has L3 cache, and is way better than the one you need.
I'm not sure why you specified 2.1GHz (2100MHz) RAM, but 4GB is ample. Speed isn't a deciding factor unless you're a crazy mofo who overclocks their RAM.
Any built in sound card in any newer motherboard will support 8 channel (7.1) surround sound out of the box. No need for a new sound card unless you're making music.
The video card is really good for the price.

XP is going nowhere fast. Like Headcrab said, The latest 2 or 3 versions of DirectX haven't been supported on XP, as well as updates and general hardware compatibility.
