Ian Dell and many other OEMs add to the basic product delivered from Microsoft. It looks like you have the problem in hand now. If you put on a generic XP from Microsoft you will lose all the Dell specific goodies. I don't know that that matters much but it is a consideration. One additional thought - every "upgrade" we have ever done in the Win 95/98/ME arena eventually fails. Our practice has been to ALWAYS do a clean install to make sure there are no old parts of code laying around in the new install. XP may have some better "over the top" routines and this won't be a problem. Tiptoe into the upgrade carefully and backup everything you want first. HJ
