Re: Help installing XP

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

tej - have no concrete advice - Windows 2000 pro is upgradeable to XP - You
can verify if the XP you have is an upgrade version by inserting the CD in
drive and browse the contents - open the I386 folder and there will be a
subfolder titled "WINNIUPG" which indicated an upgrade CD -a few thoughts
though: 1. Sometimes windows installation can slow down dramatically at some
point - have you let the machine for 20 minutes or more at that point? 2.
Do you receive any error code? 3. Maybe virus/malware/spyware - run
utilities prior to installing XP (probably not pertinent since keyboard
works OK normally). 4. Have you access to another XP CD to try or another
computer to try your CD?
