Am planning to make the big leap from Win98SE to WinXP. When I run
the System Compatibility Check from my husband's WinXP CD, I receive
the Windows Upgrade Advisor error message: "Windows XP Setup does not
support upgrading from Microsoft Windows 98 to Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition. Setup cannot continue."

All I want to do before purchasing WinXP is check compatibility
issues. Anyone know why I'm receiving this error message? I have a
Gateway PC with OEM Win98SE. My husband's PC is a newer Gateway with
OEM WinXP Home.
 
Thanks, Rick. That's what I was afraid of. Was trying to avoid
downloading a 50 MB file--that's an 8-hour download for me (sigh) :-(
