No one should even think of upgrading to Windows XP before they click on the link I provided. You need to do your homework first. Check to see if your hardware and software are compatible or need to be upgraded, etc. You may need to seek out new drivers for your hardware. That is not Microsoft's job. That is the job of the hardware manufacturer's. Some of your software may need to be replaced with new versions. Examples are Easy CD Creator by Adaptec/Roxio, Norton Utilities, Norton Systemworks, etc. Some titles that don't work: Winfax Pro version 10. (There is probably a new version out by now.) Another thing you can do is to read the MANY threads we've already posted about Windows XP. So much information has already been shared. I think we go through this once or twice a week. Personally I'm a bit more stingy with my time, since I need to do domestic things like clean house before my wife gets home. I've already invested some time in helping people with Windows XP, so I don't feel compelled to repeat it all. I will state I've had Windows XP since it was a "release candidate." Windows XP is the best operating system I have had. I date back to Windows 95. Of course I did my homework too. Ron
