install an additional operating system(u can have more

Actually you can uninstall Windows XP if the install was an upgrade overtop
of an existing Windows 98/Me setup.

K-Man, you coward, I was replying to gizelda not the OP. If you hadn't

I have tried to uninstall Windows XP Pro, as it restricts
the games I can play. But it isn't listed in the
ADD/REMOVE programs list.
Has anyone got any ideas what I can do?
