moving on from Win98 it's been so good to me.

Do not do an upgrade install. You will have tons of issues.

Back your important stuff up and format.

XP pro rocks, Best O/S Microsoft has put out.

Make sure you get you video and sound drivers from the card makers and do not use the XP ones. They are OK, but the real thing from card makers will work better.

B17, XP is much easier to deal with then 2000. The ONLY draw back of XP over 2000 is the activation.

Your right ME is the worst lol.
