Neville, I assume you ran Windows 9x (95,98,Me) before. You ABSOLUTELY need the original disks. Printer drivers for Windows 2000 are completely different to those for Windows 9x; the Acrobat CD installs different software depending on your system. There is nothing on your hard disk you can use to recover. It is a very bad idea to "upgrade" to Windows 2000 or XP. Set up dual boot so you can run your old system until you know everything works. This requires reinstalling ALL software but is well worth it, believe me. I you didn't do this, but have full backups, restore the backups and go round again. If you did do this and don't have backups, you are stuck. Aandi Inston
