Don't feel so bad. My 4600 finally bit the ghost. It had gotten soooo slow it took 15 minutes to load the main screen. I used the win xp disk and booted up off that and re-installed windows - or so I thought. Come to find out what happened is that the C drive was already partitioned for the backup files, so win xp only "repaired" what it found bad. Unit was still slow. I finnaly had to boot up off the disk, then re-partition the hard drive THEN installed the xp files. Program said it would take 39 min to install. All well n good but when it said finalizing install time reached 7 minutes and just hung there for a half hour, then continued to complete. I had to use the restore cd for all the hardware installed - drivers etc. It still isn't working up to par and I have over 1 meg of ram.
