i'm not much help - just some encouragement - a lot of what they thought
wouldn't work when we upgraded did work. Some took some new drivers. My problem
was my old cd burner - didn't work, and that threw off all of my music playing
programs! once we got the new cd burner, wmp etc played fine. Strange, huh? but
my cd burner was really old at that point, it had been moved from an older
computer into this one -
good luck!!

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.
