Perhaps I will work up courage and try it again.  I don't think I did 
anything that would account for the problems I had but it became erratic 
in operation, I pressed the little "reset" button and then after that it 
would bring up the initial screen , sit for a moment and then reboot itself.

I had never connected it to a Windows computer and had nothing backed up 
unfortunately, but I suspect that if I had been able to re-install the 
o/s it would have worked again.

I never told my daughter what I was doing, just that it was broke.
