Re: XP to upgrade from ME Trouble in River City.

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

HP offer no XP support for your machine.. the highest OS supported in
Windows 2000.. the five page report relating to incompatible
hardware/software is indicative of a machine that really is not suitable for
XP.. had you run the online upgrade advisor before buying XP, you would have
found this out..

I recognise that what I have said offers little comfort, but none of your
problems are down to XP.. if you want to use XP, you are going to have to
buy a newer computer..
