| Is this a legal version of WIN XP we are talking about? Did it come preinstalled? Is a network adapter present (NIC)? Check for latest updates for XP. |

| Client tools can be installed on WinXP Pro. I've got them installed on my laptop which is running XP pro. I've also got Personal Edition installed.Tara |
