Update 98 to XP
Am considering doing upgrade from Win 98SE to XP Home.
Does that mean that already-installed (non-OS) programs and data will have to be backed up and reinstalled?? Or can ugrade install be accomplished by simply utilizing the installation disk, without losing anything already installed? On Sun, 23 Mar 2003 20:07:17 -0600, "Steve C.

I just updated from Windows 98 to XP. All the moved files are in Notepad. How can I manipulate these files so that I can open them? Also, Lost my addresses in Outlook Express with the change from 98 to XP. How can I find my addresses and move them? Jack |

Do an upgrade installation and all your data will be left intact.
