I may finally have to bow to the inevetible....NO I WON"T KISS UP TO THE
irl AND I WON'T MAKE NICE WITH CORVETTES. But I may have to say goodbye to
Win98se. I have some new dvd stuff that is being a real pain.
First I found Win98se doesn't like USB2.0. But I beat that. THen I found
the software was for the Nt/xp line, but even that I got past. But the
last straw was the supposed win9x drivers don't work. Only the grownup
OS's are supported.

Gosh...this is amazing. Why did I wait so long? I click on start and
then the internet explorer thingy and <POOF!> I'm on the internet again.
Wow...just like before. This XP is the best. Why with win98se I had to
just click on the Big Blue E thingy..now I can add two clicks to the
process. Vunderbra!
lol...

Well, you can still add that Big Blue E thingy to your desktop in XP to
speed things up, or enable the quicklaunch toolbar. ;-)
Still using win98SE too, but have had enough time to get used to XP now
that I may well have to join the fold.

Been there, done that, I feel your pain, Dave. Had to upgrade to XP
just for GTR.
Two things you should check out right now or with any fresh xp
install:
http://www.blackviper.com/ (switch off unneeded XP crap)
MicroSoft BootVis (optimizes the boot process)
AutoRuns
All the best,
uwe

One oddity during the install process. I have the new dvd/cd drive as
the master with the older, tired, 52x cdrom as the slave on the 2nd ide
channel. Well twice I tried to install XP from the new drive and twice it
ran into places it couldn't read. So I plopped the cd into the old drive
and zzzooomm! Installation went thru lickety-split.(slang for fast!)
