=============
Evening Charles,

CS> JP>>        I really am wondering what could have stumped him in OS
CS> JP>>  installing. I have 4 XPs running here and they are some stable and
CS> JP>>  nice to use. I can not remember any major problem here except SUEs.

CS> JE> I really can't understand it either as I have installed XP on quite a
CS> JE> number of systems with no problems.

CS>Most problematic installations of XP can be directly attributed to
CS>hardware.  I have seen literally hundreds of reports of the same
CS>difficulties Tom is experiencing posted to the various MS sponsored XP
CS>newsgroups.   Most, if not all of the problems were hardware related.

CS>A typical complaint:   "But my Win98 ran perfectly on this machine, no
CS>freezes, no problems.  After I installed XP all sorts of things began
CS>to happen."

CS>XP is much more sensitive to hardware compatibility than Win9X.
CS>Everything from memory to ACPI capability of the machine is taxed to
CS>the limit.   Simply put, if the machine is not XP compatible, XP is
CS>never going to run right.

CS>Tom is probably doing the right thing by going back to Win98.  He's
CS>perfectly capable of getting XP up and running but he needs hardware
CS>that is compatible.   The smart thing for him to do is save that copy
CS>of XP for another time.   There will be plenty of opportunity for him
CS>to pick up another machine sometime in the future.

You are correct about the hardware.
What you are saying makes good sense -EXCEPT that Tom is so far behind
the curve NOW on his hardware that he may never catch up (Hardware wise)
enough to avail himself the use of the XP in question.
