I had to reinstall XP on my laptop and followed all instructions, but ended
up with two versions of Windows XP. This means every time I start-up i have
to go through a screen to choose which program to use. The old version is in
a separtae folder, but cannot merely be deleted.. any advise how to get rid
of the old program??? Thank you
