Hi Will,

But the problem is that I've already downloaded Windows
XP Home Edition onto my system. And I've Windows98
running as well. So does it still apply? I'm still
confused...

>Hi Lynn

i am probally the last person that you would want to
respond to your plea for help. You see I need some help
myself! Fact is I can't figure out how to even post a cry
for help with out going through you!
If you get in touch with some help, pass this along will
you?
I have a Compaq Presario 6000 (6400nx) XP Home Edition
2002. Once upon a time I had Yahoo installed, and it
lasted for a few days, then it just quit. Now when I try
to reinstall i get this warning: (in red) REMOTE ACCESS
SERVICE INSTALLED---then I am offered this wild solution
to Install Remote Access.
I don't know if you can post this responce and maybe get
me some help, but if so, three cheers for you!
Thanks

Eugene, jcccboy

Hi Lynn

You can perform a 'Clean'/new install of XP on the D: drive. The following
article by Michael Stevens will help you:

"Clean Install Windows XP"
