[Little TX]

I just downloaded Microsoft XP Professional yesterday and
I no longer have games like free cell, solitare, and the
other old favorites. I also cannot play some of the free
demo games due to the 3-D graphics but I could with Home
Edition. Any suggestions for this? I also recieved 6
months free of MSN service. I accidentally signed up for
the wrong plan b/c I did not have the username/password
that the store gave me. I tried to uninstall MSN to
start over but it tried to log in under the wrong
username. How do I switch my ISP? THANKS! :-)

Downloaded from where ??
We do not make Windows XP Professional available for general machine use via
download (MSDN is a different matter).

There is no difference in the 3D graphics support between Home and
Professional, or the included "games".
Try and reinstall from a properly purchased media.
Ensure you have a legally purchased and genuine copy of Window XP
Professional.

Hi

One question - how did you manage to 'download' XP Pro? If from a P2P =
program... As to changing your ISP - you have posted through the CDO =
interface, so you'll have to search on the internet for another one in =
your area.

Mike,come on dude. Read his post. He said DL, but said later he got it in a
store. You know sometimes people say download when they really meant
installed.

Perhaps the following link might apply - big difference between =
'download' and 'install':
