upgrading

You can try just upgrading your current OS and that
should keep most of your programs, however there may be
some that aren't compatible with winxp. I don't suggest
upgrading because I have had issues with computers that
have xp installed that way. I would suggest you format
your hard drive and install a winxp clean. You of course
will then have to install all your programs all over
again.
