Re: XP Update Versions

Hello SNavas,



You can use either version to upgrade from Windows ME. The main difference
between the two versions is with networking capabilities. The main concern
with corruption during the upgrade is with what's on your machine prior to
the upgrade. If you have corruptions on the Windows ME machine prior to
upgrading you might have it after the upgrade. You might want to defrag the
system, run scandisk. Check for viruses and then back up your data before
upgrading. Also make sure that any virus software is disabled.

Hello SNavas,

Correct, if you upgrade an Operating System and you encounter issues with a
particular software you may need to uninstall the application and reinstall
it to get it to function properly. Some files are installed for a particular
OS and Windows cannot update these files, they need to come from the
original install source. Corruption is a different matter. Corruption is a
broken file where missing or mismatched files are just not there or not the
correct version.

Thank You
