Trouble with the Upgrade Advisor

[Guest]

I am trying to upgrade to XP Pro from 98. When I run the upgrade advisor it
get about 3/4 of the way done and then I get the "performed an illegal
operation error" message. In the details it says something about the WINNT32
caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 0167:bff7b9f5.

Dunno what that means (to be honest) but I know that generally means -
dont'do it.

Backup and do it anyhow! I'll root for you. *grins*
