Minimal printed setup instructions were included in the box, primarily one of those quick setup sheets that resembles a poster.

Relative's new system is Vista Home Premium SP1 64 bit (quite a step up).

I live about four miles away and subscribe to the same ISP (but am using a different brand of cable modem). Was attached directly to a D-Link cable modem via an Ethernet cable. System won't boot in normal or safe mode. While trying to resolve corrupt PFN list error (research indicates might be RAM problems) registry got corrupted. Was acquired second hand and relative has no recovery media and no indication of a recovery partition. Relative's old system was running Windows 2000 on a mere 8GB hard drive.
