    Also check the rest of your hardware for compatibility... I realize that it takes MUCH time, but it is ALWAYS a good idea to contact your computer manufacturer BEFORE installing any large software such as XP.... Just a thought...

      jjeany106...You say you are thinking about upgrading to win XP ......Do you mean using an upgrade cd or a full install cd ( there is a differance ) .....In either case , make sure your system is compatible ....( it should be ) and you have 256mg of ram..... Then the number one rule .......BACK-UP , back-up , back-up .........(just in case).

      If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.
