Start up disks

My windows program is "broken", and the original setup disks that came with
my Dell are mysteriously gone. Can I create the disks I need to reload my
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack from the instructions on this website
and if I can, how much does it cost?

It will cost you the purcase price of a new XP CD...............which is the
only way to fix your system if you have lost your recovery set.

I tried to download anti-virus software, and the files won't save to my
computer, so the technician at e-Acceleration was walking me through the
troubleshoot, and she told me that my "windows is broken" and I need to
reolad it. Exactly what went bad in the software, I don't know. But the
Dell tech remotely was looking around in it last night and said there's
something wrong with it and he didn't even tell me exactly what part is bad.

Thank you for the information. So, since I don't know exactly what is wrong
with my windows XP, running a patch or another service pack probably wouldn't
help, would it?

Is it an update for the anti virus or a new one

Is e-Acceleration the company that makes "Stop Sign"? If it's the same one,
just to let you know, they were pushing me to sell their product and they
sent me a free sample. I didn't even have it installed -- just has the CD
inserted in the drive -- and my spyware programs all started alerting.

Maybe they've changed since then, but it's something you might want to look
into before you actually install their product.

If I was you, first thing I'd do is check for viruses and spyware. If you
need a new Windows disk, order one from Dell. It will be a lit cheaper than
buying one elsewhere.

Just another item:

Two programs used here for spyware detect/remove a

Ad-Aware by Lavasoft (usa)
SpyBot Search and Destroy by safer-networking.org

excellent utilities.

For most utilities to download In Internet Explorer ,
There are some switches in the advanced properties of IE.
Switch these on. They a

Security:
Allow Active Content from CDs to run on my computer
Allow Active Content to run in files on my computer

The third on is to be used only if the program isn't
recognized by Microsoft or it isn't properly signed. It's
Allow software to run or install even if the signature is
invalid.
It can be used in last cases. It should always be turned
back off after the install, to see if the software will run
properly.

In most cases a program that causes the system to reject the
installer, is probably hostile and should be avoided.

In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed
which describe him in the last days.
Is your quality found on this list??

No, from which ever website you meant.

Which software exactly?
What did e-Acceleration base this on?
What did Dell base this on?

Time to buy the CD for the OS you want to continue to use.

Please note: Based on personal expeerience, eAcceleration software is full
of "spyware". I would steer clear of any eAcceleration software.

Have you tried to download software from a different site???
