I will try to help here,
Does the NES USB adaptor come with any drivers, if not you may need some
from the manufactories web site, worth a look for that. if not I am sure it
wood work fine when XP is installed, and the updates are applied as well.
You will possible need a new copy of Roxio EZ CD, which you can either buy
new or try to find a good deal on version 5, it will also include Direct CD
as well.
Music match, make sure you have a copy of your licence key, and if possible
reload it, and then see if it will work, and if you can update it or upgrade
it for free or a small fee to the newest version.
I have no idea what Quick Link is, sorry. If it comes with your PC may be
worth a look at the manufactories web site and see if they have a newer
version, that will run with XP.
It is not so likely the CD ROM or the DVD ROM will not work. XP is pretty
good for that, and when you load the software for watching DVD's etc, it
should auto detect it and work fine. It should also work fine for reading
disc's too.
keyboard manager again check manufactures web site for updated drivers etc,
especially for XP.
Logitech Optical wireless mouse-ware again download newest version of
Logitech's site.
AVG just reinstall the latest version of the free one and update it fast.
Hope that helps a little,
Trevnal

to all who answered my call 4 help regarding upgrading to XP from ME...
I download the XP advisor & the report was ...
hardware that may need additional files :
Universal serial bus controller, NES PCI to USB enhanced host controller..
which I determine to be the internal USB 2.o 5-port PCI card I had my son
install for me. the box says it requires windows 98se or higher.
Software that must be reinstalled :
DirectCD 3, has a known compatibility issue with XP... ( Roxio)
Easy CD Creator 4 ( Roxio)
Musicmatch jutebox
Quicklink III
All above came preinstalled on my system when bought. they may be on my
recovery disks ???
I do use my CD burner & DVD drive, so I would want to keep them & not buy
new ...
It also mentions that my DVD movie player may be incompatible & may need
an upgrade.
CD-rom drive brand- Mitsumi CR-4804TE CD-ROM ( cd writer plus)
DVD brand- Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-M1402
Incompatible hardware issues :
keyboard manager ( on start menu)
another item preinstalled. right now I do not use this feature.
Logitech Optical wireless mouseware added by me & still would like to use.
Software that might not be compatible :
AVG control center ( a startup program) the antivirus I downloaded from
the net.
My question is... are these things I can just get downloaded from the net
for free? Or would I have to buy new hardware, ect??
I know I can reload the AVG.
Thanks again for all your help.
Faythe
