There are 2 Driver and Utility CDs titled " Dell dimension CD, For reinstalling device drivers, diagnostics, utilities, ans system documentation and " For re-installing V92K (capable)/ 56K Telephony/Data/Fax/Voice modem"

The other CDs are Application CDs for " installing/re-installling Roxio CD creator 5.1"
and "Euro Tools CD for reinstalling Dell installed software"

The application CDs don't autorun. I tried reinstalling Antivirus without success.
