Uninstalling XP

[Patty]

I did not ralize before I instlled WP Home on a second
computer that it was for single use. How do I remove
it? It is not compatible with AOL 9.0 anyway, and that
is mmore important to me than this version of Windows.

AOL 9.0 is indeed compatible with Windows XP.

Greetings --

The normal way to "uninstall" _any_ operating system is to format
the hard drive and install a new OS of your choice.

However, if you performed an upgrade from Win98/Me, elected to
backup the old system files, and didn't convert the partition to NTFS,
then all you need do is boot into Safe Mode and Start > Control Panel

Add/Remove Programs. All of these conditions _must_ be met for the

uninstall option to be available.
