Default Need to reformat and reinstall

Hi Mike -
Surprisingly, when using the XP upgrade CD, I was not asked to insert
the Win ME CD. I have downloaded the correct network card driver via
my other computer, moved it to the infected computer & installed
that. At that point I was able to access my LAN and the internet. I
have installed antivirus software and am now downloading Windows
Service Pack 3. Hopefully that will be the closing of this endeavor.


Did you perform a clean install or was it a repair install? If the latter
I wouldn't expect you to have to provide the Win Me CD but if the former
it looks as if the XP upgrade setup took the existing XP installation as
being the qualifying product which is good news all round.

I'm pleased that all seems to be going well.
