if i do a clean instal of home premium and have backed up using xp backup
when i restore will all of my progams be installed or will i have to reinstal
everything include my internet setup
 
Hi,

Programs will need to be reinstalled using their original installation
media. Only an upgrade would migrate programs as part of the install, or you
could have used the Easy Transfer Companion prior to the install to migrate
programs. The file created with XP's backup utility is not compatible with
Vista, you'll need to recover data in it using an XP system.
