After she's been/gone you can then concentrate on the XP.

Question.. Do you have the original KEY and DISKS for the XP install??
Kymmy I did burn the Puppy to CD but I didn't know how to work it so gave up. I've ordered a usb network adaptor, so will be content with that hopefully. May have to seriously consider the puppy alternative if new adaptor doesn't solve the problem, will keep you up to date with position. Many thanks!
PS do not have KEY and DISKS for the XP install.
