Is it an upgrade or a full version ?
As far as I know you can't upgrade with the full version, you need to wipe off the hard drive first. This is recommendable anyway. RJ

Thanks RJ, that is what I'm going to do. I just wanted to check to see all my components were compatible.

You mean the components in your signature ?
Should be no problem for Windows XP. RJ |

He may see a stability improvement, but most likely a performance loss.

Thanks HAL9000, I'll tell him, he'll probably leave it alone till he upgrades.
