I don't have my win. xp cd
I bought a computer from a private party and did not
receive a cd for win.xp. Should I purchase another one (xp cd)and remove the old version and reinstall the newer one? And if so is there a web page that will give me step by step instructions on how to do such? The reasoning behind updating is my computer keeps bombing. And now that my kids are out of the house I'd like to get it running properly so I can use it! Any help is greatly appreciated!

Yes, purchase a "Full Version" of Windows XP and
perform a "clean install".

Possibly, but without the CD and original license and Product, it is not a licensed installation. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/ "Mike" wrote in message ... Or!! It may be CHEAPER to have a PC professional to look at it - and try and diagnose/fix the actual problem .... Could save some dollars.. XP isn't cheap

The person you bought it from is required to give you the CD too.
