c_pantel, FWIW, most of the folks I've heard from said essentially the same thing. Seems the upgrade to XP doesn't work nearly as well as the CD version with a clean install. Maybe M$ would rather sell it than give it away?
BTW, I like XP a lot better (more goodies), but mine was a clean install as opposed to an upgrade. The addition of the SP2 service pack to XP demands a machine clean of malware to work, perhaps the ME upgrade's the same?? Scandisk, Defrag, scans, etc.
HTH.
