I have a Japanese Dell, with Japanese OS/Millenium - tried to upgrade with (stateside) XP - but it won't take with the Japanese OS. I'm not sure whether I should just do a clean install w/a completely new OS, or can I find the Japanese OS XP shopping online somewhere (haven't found anything yet). I live in a Podunky town, and haven't found much local tech help that I can count on yet. Thanks in advance - V/R, duna
