I am trying to upgrade to XP from me. My first attempt
was yesterday and after several strange issues during
upgrade finally got installed but due to odd issues
called tech support to see if I should uninstall or re-
install. As soon as I got them on line discovered I
already had blaster so dealt with that ,then after
looking at a few things he (tech support) decided I
needed to:
1. Uninstall windows XP.
2. Uninstall norton sytemworks.
3. Run upgrade report.
4. Copy a flat and run winnt32.
Did all of above then when running setup get blocking
issue regarding fax. I have uninstalled fax program,
deleted any fax looking files, rebooted, run defrag and
all tools AND spent 4 hrs with tech rep on phone again
which involved hiding several files from the startup (i
think thats what we did). Still get the issue. then he
suggested to run upgrade report first and then run
install, but of course upgrade report shows the blocking
issue and install won't get past it. I have all items
unplugged except keyboard mouse and display. I think
this upgrade will cost more in phone $$ than the
upgrade! Part of problem and reason for upgrade is
difficulty getting iexplorer to cooperate with me in
winme so i am using a neighbors computer to beg for
help.
Does anyone know of a link or source where I can get more
info on this issue or a fix???
