Yes, it should, but before you spend money on such a tool you should check
out the others that are available (I'm not sure which is best)... read

Also there is a good reason why such tools are not free.. ie you wouldn't
want every schoolboy hacker running around with such tools...

If all of these suggestions that Mac is giving you fail, then simply run a
clean installation of Windows. Note that this will wipe out everything you
have on the machine.

And I'm sorry about your boyfriend.

Hi Kevin
I haven't done that yet, but I don't have the program to run it.

You don't need a program to do it. Every computer (except if you buy it from
eBay or something) comes with a Windows reinstallation disc. It should say
the version on the front of it. Simply shut down the computer and boot from
the CD. On most computers now, you push F12 at the startup screen where it
says 'Dell' to boot from a device.
