Got stuck

I've got stuck in Windows installation. I was asked by my friend to repair her friend's computer. It is three years old and has several problems same as other old computers; it cannot be connected to the Internet, it can only runs in 640x480 resolutions, and it is often stuck. After making backup of the email data I decided to reinstall Windows2000. As you know, it takes at least 2 to 3 hours to finish setting up Windows perfectly. Though most problems have been solved the computer still can run only in 800x600 display mode. I'm now suspecting that it has some hardware problems. Anyway I have already spent more than 6 hours in this job and I'm still stuck. I cannot throw it away because I was dined last night. I can only hate the most rich nerd in the world. What should I do next?
