Help!! need some advice please has been trawling the internet for days and none the wiser. Heres the problem: purchased a reconditioned IBM thinkpad T20 which runs microsoft windows 2000 professional version 5.0 2195 service pack 4 build 2195 last year. Have now got what I have been told is a virus and have been advised to reinstall my laptop. The laptop came with the applications already installed and no disk. Cant get in to touch with the supplier (phone no and email no longer available!!) to get a copy.
Am now thinking about doing a clean instal and upgrading to widows XP but there are lots of different versions out there and I am unsure which one to get - someone recommended "Microsoft OEM windows XP home edition inc service pack 2b-1".
Can anyone advise please? obviously I dont want to buy this if it is the wrong version and I lose my money plus I can't get on to my control panel to see if my memory is enough to be compatable with it. PLEASE HELP. Thanks.
