Guys,

Sorry, I searched but was overwhelmed. If I upgrade, will I have to
reinstall program files from XP/ Outlook, games, etc? Can I move them from
..old to the regular program files? I tried Beta 2, and this did not work out
well for me. I have a ghost of XP now, and am not sure.

Thanks!

If you do an actual upgrade installation of Vista, all of your applications
and settings will be migrated. If you do a clean install without formatting
and you end up with a windows.old folder you can drag your PST file out and
any other files you may need, but you would have to reinstall applications
then.

Please try upgrading from XP to 5600, or if you would like to download 5728
try upgrading to build 5728.
