I am thinking of upgrading from ME to XP pro. I hear so many horror stories about failed attempts and losing drivers etc. Should I attempt it?
Is my laptop compatible with only 384 ram and spare 5 gig?

We did this a few months ago on our desktop PC at home with absolutely no problems. Before with ME it crashed on average once a day, now it has crashed maybe once every six months! Windows XP is a much more stable operating system, I would highly recommend upgrading.
(Though don't blame me if it doesn't work!

Should be fine with your spec. I don't know of anyone that has had an upgrade go wrong.
Sure there is someone that will prove me wrong though Ever stop to think and forget to start again?0 -
i hate upgrades...but thats just a personal thing i found certain software became corrupt...i prefer clean installs, saves stuff lingerin around that shouldnt be there!
