Let's see now...you're complaining of problems caused by installing a SP
that hasn't been released, is still in beta that you (probably) downloaded
via Kazaa. You installed this code without taking the proper precautions
(like backing up at the very least - I'd have cloned the drive first) and
you're surprised your computer is less than well...

You're either very naive or very stupid - and I'd go with the latter.

I really don't know what you expect us to do about it...

If you play with fire...

Mike;
Do you mean the computer manufacturer did not furnish a CD?
If that is the case, you may need to contact them to see what other
options they provided.

Or if you mean that the computer doesn't have a floppy drive, how the hades
did you install Windows in the first place?!

Don't be such a jerk, it was a simple question, if you can't be any help than keep your rude comments to yourself!
