Repair/Reinstall issues
 

I had a CMOS battery dieing and messed up the BIOS to the point where the
only way I could start the machine (while awaiting arrival of the new
battery) was to using the XP Intall disk in the CD. New battey was
installed, and XP not working well at all, extremly slow (multiple minutes)
boot, IE disappeared altogether, wireless wetwork no longer detected. I
attempted an XP "Repair" but when prompted for a paswword nothing (bios or XP
admin) worked. Tried "Reinstall" and program advised that a repair would
likely fix the issues, so I chose that option and a repair progressed (no PW
needed at that point?!?) During Repaira dialog came up stating that
"CIMWIN.DL_" could not be found and to insert Win XP Install Disk which of
course was already in the drive. I opted to skip that file and progressed to
get another dialog that "HMMAPI.DL_" could not be found and to insert the XP
Install disk. Only option to move forward was to skip.

I know have an installation that boots up esentially normal, but I do not
have any detection of my wireless network (card is working, network is
operating with other machines) so I cannot get to email, cannot get out to
install SP2 etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated
