When I got this laptop back in 2001 a Compaq, it came with Compaq 
recovery cd's for Windows ME. ME was crashing on the wireless all of the 
time. I got rid of ME period, and got the utility programs for the 
Compaq laptop from the Compaq site for Win2k when the machine was 
converted to Win2k and then the ones for XP, which the machine is now XP.

The recovery CD when into the trash and I still got Compaq support even 
though I tossed its CD.
