Thanks Bruce,
I guess my next question is "Do I need to do a complete install?" The
computer originally had XP then as I said i was able to install Vista over
that. Now it seems to indicate that there is no operating system yet I am
able to connect to the internet with limited functionality as Vista calls it.
Thanks.
