        Playa1471.....ok so your p/c is a gateway......and it had Win 98 on it ...but someone updated it to Win 2K...Do you have the Win2k disk and product code.
        Do you have a current Anti virus program installed .

            Playa1471.....do yourself a favour and install a anti virus program on your p/c after you get XP loaded.
