Hello
Upgrading 98 to XP is easy and the best, I prefer the clean install, some do not, upgrading should leave all your existing files intact, but anytime you do a major change always backup your important files. http://michaelstevenstech.com/xpupgdissues.html You can also do a full install with an upgrade version, you will need a copy of the 98 version.(restore cd will not work) http://www3.telus.net/dandemar/cleanxp.htm After install enable the Firewall and visit MS Windows Update and download the updates for your security and safety. Firewall http://support.microsoft.com/default...&Product=winxp Updates http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp -- Hope This Helps Haus Not a MS-MVP Not a MVP Not nothing, just a good ole boy.

You don't need the full version. You can even do a clean installation using the upgrade version, inserting your Windows 98 CD when it asks for proof of a previous Windows version. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
