Gubbed!  lol:

Give the man a coconut, Banghead Did some more research on the OEM disks and they appear to be build specific so unless my email to Compaq/HP bears fruit (about as much chance of that as there is of BM setting up a slate for us all I suspect  whistle: ) I'm seeing if any of the guys I know still have XP MCE  disks anywhere.

And before anyone says anything I was nice and police in my message to them (don't look so surprised you cheeky sods  lol: )

Police???  eeek:

Jeez! You really do read all this shite  noooo:


I just read what I thought it said.

Screw it, I'm installing Ubuntu. Apparently installing Wine as well should allow me to use most of my software.  scared2:

Its a temporary measure until I can get a hold of an XP disk, the alternative is a laptop shaped paperweight.

Well the keyboard, trackpad and wireless are back up again so its a good sign so far. Unfortunately nobody can remember the bloody password for the home hub.  Banghead

Wine is an emulation program you one track mind pisshead  lol:

Probably will do once I'm working again but for now it isn't an option.
