Hi everyone. I just found this list and think it is going to be a great resource! I have a question about upgrading my wife's computer. It was given to her when her old one died and already had WinXP Pro installed. She has been using it for a while and has all her data and programs on it now. The problem is that the XP on it is apparently a pirated copy so she can not do the online updates. She purchased a new copy (with SP2) so that she would be legal and could use the online updates. My question is whether or not I can just install the new copy over the old one without losing all her data and programs. Thanks, Tommy Chumley The NOSPIN Group has added a new feature on our website, web based bulletinboard for questions and answers: Visit our sister website at http://nospin.com
