Re: FAT32/NTFS

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have a program called AUTOTECH. I have the CD, wich would not open up
SeTUP. I contacted the company and they sent me a link to download the
program. I saved to my desktop. It too, will not open setup. I have tried all
of the COMPATIBILITY Settings, nothing has worked. I am thinking of clearing
my Harddrive and installing Win98SE and XP PRO SP2, would that help me with
my older programs ? and If so, how do I remove/ clear out XP ? Thanks for the
help.
