In the past, if I had a windows problem that I could not figure out, I would
put in the windows disk and go over the top of the OS with a new install
(without formatting) and it always seemed to fix my problem. I tried this
today to fix a registry problem and I am getting the following warning I have
not seen before:
Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is
newer than the version on the CD.
Warning: If you decide to delete the newer version of Windows that is
currently installed on your computer, the files and settings cannot be
recovered.
This is a purchased copy of Win XP Pro with a key. Is this because I have
installed SP3? If I remove SP3 will I be allowed to go over the OS? Will
this uninstall SP2 if I remove it? If so, will I lose stuff other than SP3
if I uninstall?
Thanks...gary
