Lisa,
Such questions are probably best asked on a newsgroup supporting the
installation of XP. :-)
You can however determine the answer for yourself by running the XP Upgrade
Advisor (UpgAdv.exe) which can be downloaded from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/h...ng/advisor.asp but
note that this is a large program being around 32MB is size. If you only have
a dial-up connection it might be worth looking for a magazine that has
included the Upgrade Advisor on their cover CD. The advisor will give you a
clue as to any XP drivers required that aren't on the XP CD and programs for
which you will have to obtain updates. Some applications will have to be
uninstalled prior to upgrading after which they can often be reinstalled
although in some cases the application will first have to be upgraded to an XP
compatible version. The Upgrade Advisor is also included on the XP CD.
For a more extensive discussion of upgrading see Gary Woodruff's article at
