Whitey,
Did you buy a copy of XP Pro to load on a brand new laptop that already had an operating system? If so, why? (Just curious.)
Acer lists that computer as coming with XP Home or Pro only.

Maybe they updated it to Media Center later.
Hello GX1_MAN
Thanks everybody for the imput
I have made the backup discs you inquired about....
Ipicked up some bad spyware that got by Webroot [smiley=shocked.gif]
Itried to get rid of it with no luck, so I backed up and ran the disc restore, and didn't recover everything.
My OS was very unstable and things just were not running right.
So I went back and restored to original factory condition, and things seem to be alright now.
Needless to say I'm not impressed......... But I'm up for suggestions........
Thanks Again Whitey
