Oh MAN. No wonder I couldn't find the Windows CD. I thought we could finally get Windows without that stupid media player? Oh well. I'll definitely call them. Thanks, Paul

Hi Paul:   I believe it means you ordered your system without the re-installation disks for your Operating System and other installed software programs.   You will want these disks. To order them see: http://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=sw_winxp&message.id=214841

In Europe, at least, there is a version of XP without WMP. It's called Windows XP N, I think. Microsoft was forced to make it available by the EU commissioners. I don't think it has been very popular:-) Message Edited by JRosenfeld on 01-18-200707:45 PM
