brettnik,
That is excellent advice.  We haven't gotten it fixed yet and the poor thing had to redo the whole project.  I have told her though...next time email-even if it isn't complete!

OI--- Hope that you managed to get the help that you needed.
While computers frustrate me often, "technical support" absolutely drives me crazy.

Hope all went well with the report. I know how stressful that can be.
Encourage her to email her stuff to herself or you from now on so that you don't have these problems in future.  I don't have a floppy myself and that's what I do to ensure things I treasure or need are saved somewhere in cyberspace.

You might try adding a cd drive (borrow one from a friend, maybe) and use
a start up cd.  Don't load it, just use it to start the computer.  Then, after you get your stuff printed take the computer in to check out the hard drive.
