I have a 4 yr old DELL computer given to me by my former employer. I have a
pop up and virus issue (completly my fault) that Norton and numerous anti
pop-up software is not completly helping. I believe if I start the computer
in Safe Mode I can burn files and pictures to CD's for a safe back up.

I'm not really counting on getting an XP CD from microsoft but would like to
know if I purchase a new XP Home Edition license will I be able to install it
over the OEM copy loaded on the machine?

What version is the OEM? Pro or Home? If it is Pro you will not be able to
install Home over Pro - as Pro is considered a 'higher' level operating
system.
