Lost software for Dimension E310
My old Dell needed work and it was necessary to erase the hard drive. I assumed that the Roxio software would be on a CD from Dell when I bought the computer, but alas, there is nothing with Roxio on it. Any ideas?

Its old enough that dell would not replace the software. There are free programs however like cdburnxp

Windows 7 has both burning and DVD playback software bundled.

And Windows 8 removes these and makes them $addons.

For that reason, I'd suggest Windows 7.
XP has lasted over 11 years, and I'd think 7 has a few good years left, too.

Can you use F11 to get system restore.
Use windows 8 32bit. The motherboard only can get 2GB ram.
Also get a pci or pci express x1 graphics card. Or forget the upgrade and build your own computer.

The free ImgBurn is also a good program to have.

I got the DVD playback software (Windows Media Center) for free. And the upgrade for $40. :emotion-4: Both offers ended on January 31st.
Windows Media Player will burn data, video, and audio CDs and DVDs: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-8/burn-cd-or-dvd-media-player
