Hey! It's me again, I reinstalled my winxp - Thanks for the help, but having put my MWorks 2002 back in, I don't have the box it was in (just the CD's)and it won't let me use it, without the authenticity code. It was pre loaded (if that helps) with the computer when I bought it. Is there a place where I can locate the codes? Maybe inside the pc, or a website? Thanks, Celeste

call dell they can tell you. Call 1-800-WWW-DELL or look third link down on google search
