Is an 1386 file & a i386 file the same thing? as, I appear to have both on the system! The 1386 is the biggie @ 881MB's. The i386's (there are a few of em) are a lot smaller, so, I assume that the biggest of those, is the one to use!
Anyway ... All too complicated for an 'old fart' I think that I'll just leave it alone for now & panic when it all blows up!
Once again ...Many thanks for all the advice.
Regards.
Dunk. :confused:

OK so. Where do I get one CHEAP & with SP3 aleady on it?
It could have a copy on this DELL thing. But, I don't know how to find it. Or, where to look, for that matter. If I could find it on here, all well & good. But, then I'd have to 'slipstream' SP3 to it ... Never done that! I'm an oldie ya see!
But ... Thanks for the hint !
I think I'll just go & hide under my toadstool again !! :o
