Hi

Im trying to upgrade from ME to Windows XP. After a few minutes of upgrading it says that my Nvidia G-Force MX 440 needs additional files. Then after the setup finishes upgrading a black screen appears and nothing happens and I can't get into Windows XP. I have some ideas what might have caused this problem

1. I have to video card

2. I only have drivers for Windows ME installed not XP

Can anyone help me

Matt;
Do you mean "two" video cards?
Remove one, I suggest the Nvidia G-Force MX 440.
While at it remove any non essential cards and disconnect all
peripherals, printer, camera scanner etc.

Have you made sure the computer is ready for windows XP?

Matt:

Switch to VGA mode while doing the upgrade. This will eliminate driver
conflicts. When done switch to your Nvidia card and resolve its conflicts.
