Andre,
Got ya-shoulda known that-duh!!
Good to be back-I tweaked this laptop;got rid of PC restore(Symantec Ghost)
it was eating up 15Gb of my HD!! Alas;shouldn't mess with a brand new Dell.
They didn't even have a driver/utilty reinstall disc for it yet. The one
they included didn't even have the correct hardware for my system on it;let
alone driver's. Sent me 3 separate one's-all WRONG. I found all the driver's
on-line myself!!! It's taken awhile though;and just got a call from Dell
this a.m. Seems they burned a cd with my config on it; driver's and all and
are overnighting it to me!!! Too late-did it myself!! Oh well;have got 2
extra XP PRO SP2 reinstall cd's now!! HA better never fail WGA!!! LOL and am
getting a custom made driver cd from Dell.
Oh;almost forgot; do you guys remember that Symantec Beta site? after
all this reformatting-lost it;and I signed up.

Its possible that both XP reinstall CDs use the same key. As for the
Symantec BETA link:
