I just upgraded to XP from Windows 98 and I've got a few
problems: when I login after startup, my system window
pops up and I have to close it. In addition, the
computer intermittently refuses to detect the dvd and cd
drives.

Anyone else have these problems? I'm also trying to
retrieve my Outlook Express adress book, lost during the
upgrade. Thanks.
