Thank you chaps may one take the liberty of asking a suplimentry question?.
Said computer was store bought and came with XP installed,said machines has many problem and nothing particulary important on the hard disk,I have XP PRO and was thinking of formating the disk and reloading a clean operating system,my experience of doing this with win 98 on machines bought with operating systems installed by the shop is lack of drivers,ie no driver disk for graphic/sound card/modem ect supplied with the machine
I know that XP comes with many more drivers in situ than win 98 did but am I liable to have trouble with third party graphic cards modems ect?
Again greatfull for any advice.
Incidently the machine is at brothers house and they do not have a internet connection if I needed to download new drivers,at a push I could bring it here I suppose
