Posted by Jacob on February 8th, 2004


When I am trying to install and XP update on my computer,
I get a message listing things that may or may not be
compatabile, not work, or need to be reistalled, Im
concerned because it Lists my network adapter, my printer,

wont work after, i need to update cause I just got an
Ipod, thank you!

Jacob;
Are you referring to windows XP Upgrade from another operating system?
If so that message usually means you need Windows XP drivers for that
hardware.
Go to this link, #3 Upgrade Advisor to see if the computer is ready
for Windows XP:

Yes Jupiter- I am talking about an UPGRADE, not an update,
instead of using just an upgrade, would a full version
rather work better with compatability, and if I Upgrade,
or get a full version, do I lose all my
files/document/music? This sucks that I need to do this
