I am using Win98SE and am thinking about upgrading to XP
home edition. How do I check to see if my hardware and
software are compatable with XP??

Paul, the part at the end of Mike's message is a "signature file." It's
not directed at you specifically. It's automatically added to all of his
newsgroup messages not just this one and is a reminder to anyone reading
his messages that he will not respond to private emails.

I had a sofware utility but for the life of me can not remember. I think it
on the Microsoft web site. You could do a search there or on Google.
