CAN'T INSTALL MS WINDOWS XP PROF.
Greetings --
Have you ensured that all the PC's components are capable of supporting WinXP? This information will be found at each of the PC's component's manufacturer's web sites, and on Microsoft's Hardware Compatibility List: (http://www.microsoft.com/hcl/default.asp) Computer components designed for use with Win9x/Me very often fail to meet WinXP's much more stringent hardware quality requirements. Can you obtain OS-specific device drivers for your PC's components, and any necessary motherboard BIOS updates? Additionally, you can download and run Microsoft WinXP Upgrade Advisor to see if you have any incompatible hardware components. (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/h...ing/advisor.as p) HOW TO Prepare to Upgrade Win98 or WinMe http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q316639 Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html ---- You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. -- RAH wrote in message ... I am traying to upgrade from Windows 98 to Windows XP Prof., but I am having trouble.

It's very difficult to help you if you don't tell us anything about what trouble you're having. The more detail you can provide, the more likely it is that someone here will be able to help. -- Ken Blake Please reply to the newsgroup |
