Yeah, it's the install disk it wanted. I'll have to rummage around and see if I can find it. At least I hope Dell included it with all the others.

Fortunately I still have my ancient copy of Word Perfect 5.1 installed on the old laptop. Say what I will about obsolete technology, but it uses Dos prompts, so if Windows gets screwed up, I can still use it! File is mostly saved. Now whether the story itself can be saved may be a different critter...
