More info?)
To all in this group the upgrade failed badly
I would seriuosly consider more than just uninstalling any virus software
after the upgrade completed windows xp pro would not boot in any mode
safe
safe w/net
normal
all failed
I had to reformat the hard drive and start from scratch
what a job all applications now had to reinstalled
then IIS fails to work which is the main reason for upgrading to xp pro
i now have to reformat again start from scratch install iis first test and
then test after each application to see what is causing it to fail
No one has been able to help on this even in the iis newsgroup
I called ms support and we spent several hours on the phone with no luck
Still confused
