installed by Dell and possibly affect programs installed on your hard drive.
Therefore, Dell does not recommend that you reinstall your operating system
unless instructed to do so by a Dell technical support representative.

NOTICE:

To prevent conflicts with Windows Me, you must disable any virus

protection software installed on your computer before you reinstall
Windows Me.
