    The windows installation is finished so I am waiting for directions on what to do next. On the list you sent it says to install drivers next but I am not sure I need to attempt that without your direction. So I will wait until I get word from you if to go ahead and put a disk in and attempt it. According to the directions in the link that you gave me I am supposed to know which drivers to install and in what order. You can guess my response to that (oh my!).

    We are back in our hotel...at least for another night. Better than sitting in the dark in a hot house, that is for sure! We have had two times given for likely electric return...early tomorrow morning...OR Monday midnight. We are hoping of course for tomorrow but have reserved the hotel for tomorrow night just in case.
    Anyway.
    What you need to do next is install your drivers. Know you said you had three disks that said drivers. Do you have any idea which one you actually received when you purchased the computer? Or did all three come when you requested the Windows Install disk? You will need the one that is the latest version...there should be either version numbers or maybe a copyright date. It is likely, however that they all may be the exact same disk. My friend had the same thing happen to her, no Windows install disk included with the computer but did receive the driver disk. When she had a major failure she called Dell and they sent her the disks and for some reason at that time they sent her the Windows Install disk and two copies of the same driver disk she all ready had.
    So tell me what yours say...exactly. Won't need your Service tag or anything at this time, only if you run into trouble. Then I will tell you how to use it if needed.
