My installed version of Xp does not have any back-p
utilities installed -- where are they?

Backup comes with all XP versions supplied by MS, on a new compute or =
store bought.

However MS doesn't make a lot of the XPs that comes with new computers. =
It's up to the person who makes the disk if they include stuff like =
this. For Pro it will always be included, for home the maker has to tick =
a box in a wizard - and most are too stupid to do so.

If Pro type ntbackup in Start - Run. If home read below. If Home and a =
non MS version contact the computer manufacturer (who''ll likely say =
tough luck). You have a license to use this program so you can take it =
from another CD. You can't download it. You'll need to find a MS genuine =
Home CD. MS CDs come in boxes in shops or from small computer =
manufacturers (1 shop type). So find a fried who bought there.
