Hi all--

     I had a fatal error, and ended up having to reinstall
(a "fresh cpoy from CD) XP Pro (SP1)...then I downloaded
XP SP2. Two questions:

1. How can I get rid of the original XP SP1 that I know
is still lurking (comp is SUPER SLOW)

2. On turn off from start button, my STANDBY button is
dimmed, and unavailable. I had to reinstall all Dell
system tools, including drivers, but nothing helps.

Thanks in advance.
