no I tried that a gazillion times already and even tried every single f key with ctrl and without ctrl. the only ones I found did anything were f3 and f12 and f2 and none did anything I wanted.
Dudio doesnt help my situation. I did, however, find on Dells website you can reorder 1 set of discs for the computer which includes the windows xp media center edition disc to boot the computer. I just bought a floppy drive online (didnt find any stores with one for sale) so I can reinstal windows on my computer but I am afraid I may not get it before the lan party. Cost me all of $7 so its not like it broke my budget lol. I havent given up totally but I am not hopeful to get them both running by the lan. I am, however, thinking of at least bringing our WII and hooking it up to smiley's downstairs tv and then we can get a mario kart game going lol.
