Reinstall XP?

G

gmcyd

Dell 8250 desktop w/XP. Some of my programs do not work. When first turned
on, "could'nt load resourse file" came up. Also, in something like AOL, I
cannot type anything in that program, like email. I can type in documents or
word pad or things like that. Just recently I attempted to reload XP from
Dell supplied disc that came with this unit. Informed, by the disc, that the
version on my computer was more recent than the disc' version and to restart
and boot to load the disc if I wanted to load from it. After F12 (boot) I
cannot figure out what to do next. The info from F2 (setup) or F12 doesn't
tell this newbe enough to know how to reload XP.

Also, I cannot restore as my restore calender does not show dates, I cannot
manually input a date, and to unrestore my last event, it does not work. Is
it necessary to delete the XP program before reinstall? I searched the
program file (control panel) and was not sure how to delete the current
version.

Help!
