Talk to you soon.

John,
The control panel should be in your start menu. It might be under
settings, but should be listed there someplace.
It may also be listed in the My Computer.
Once you get to the control panel, you will probably want to tab to,
switch to classic view and press your spacebar.
Denny

I have just got my new computer a few months ago.
Before I had a windows 98 SE.
Now I seem to have a hard time finding different things,like the
control panel.
Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about what drive your CD goes in or what drive to
install XP to?
If it is the CD, you would normally put that in the D drive.
If it the installation, the C drive is where it should be
installed to.
