"number five six and seven dont work on this laptop funny huh" under later exmanation we found out the m.b. cd does not have txtsetup.oem this is whare were stuck, the pc guy "scott" said he would fix me all up tommorrow afternoon with, i think he said a copy of xp home with sp2 but to use my cd key for my xp home? ..i think anyhow seems more these days the net is the only reliable source for help anymore... i realllly apericiate any help on this kuz i wanna fire this pc up tonight!!!!
