Hi GMan,
The computer is actually labled Fry's on the front. But of coarse since
Fry's is a retail outfit it is probably an OEM job, but from where, I don't
know. It is a desktop or actually a tower that sits on the floor. The Model
8130 is the number printed on the cover of the book that came with the
computer and which I never got around to reading.
Digging a little deeper I find that the Model number is FM8130 REV:1.
Microsoft Windows XP
Media Center Eddition
Version 2002
Service Pack 2
Serial Number I think, but don't know:
76487-OEM-0011903-00829
Intel(R)
Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz
3.00 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM
Physical Address Extension
Also found the Support Website which I will visit later tonight. Looks like
I still got work to do on my own.

Thanks again for your help on this problem.
Warren
