Jason,

All my computers are Dell laptops. I have a Dell O/S install CD. 

At the risk of letting my ignorance hang out, what number do I call?

Off this topic, one of my Dell laptops refuses to load service pack 1a (it 
is 32 bit BTW). It comes back saying that the install key used is invalid, 
and that my O/S is an invalid copy. Not surprising given that I bought the 
computer off ebay.  Is there a number I can call to register this computer so 
I don't have to burn it down and reload the O/S? It does not give me that 
option; just an Error window with a snottygram :-(
