>THANKS, gls858, for the suggestion. But the problem is
NOT to exhaust the power. The problem is that the computer
does NOT work! The Setup function never concluded, Windows
claims not finding the mentioned file, does not proceed,
quits...and that is it. When re-starting, Windows says
that the re-installation was never complete. It is a Catch-
22.
