I am trying to reinstall XP on our desktop Dell, coming to you now from my dimly understood iBook.
(why doesnt the iBook wrap vB tags around highlighted text in a pprune post for example????? )
Have managed to do the operative system from the CD, now busy with the Driver & utilities Resource CD. Got the first 2 drivers fine, but when it has almost finished unstalling the sound card it gives me a little box with the dreaded red cross, the stern word SEVERE and 'driver not found'
Dell support has of course gone home for the day. Not that it matters as I waited in their phone queue for 97 mins without ever speaking to anyone earlier today.
Any clever clairvoyant here who has a suggestion as to how I could become 'unstuck'?
(yeah yeah yeah, moderating JB has taken care of that kind of unstuck long ago thank you

)
