Hey,

I have a laptop here with xp home editon w/SP2

is there a dummy way of just upgrading it to xp pro.

or do i have to reformat the machine with the Pro CD?

thanks
 
okay thanks,

i think an fresh install is always best anyways.

On a side note!
Do you know how i would go about with outlook express .dbx files to outlook 2003? (importing)

i need to back up the email and not sure exaclly what to do with these .dbx files

Import Export may or may not work depending on how Windows is feeling at the time ... personally I learned to print off all my emails, 'cos I could never get that crap to work.

Just me though, nobody else has ever had a failure. ;)
 
my outlook never worked because 4 years ago ntl cocked up the installation and i just used hotmail instead :P

You do not need NTL to cockup Outlook ... it does the job for you.

I never installed any NTL stuff ... but then I never install ANY crap if I can help it.

I now have BT/Yahoo ... all I did was get the drivers off the CD ... bugger their crap. Mind you, it took me ages to figure out how to tell them to stop blocking my emails. ;)

Give me NTL anyday. :thumb:
 
Give me a break i was only 11 :P

Hotmail does the job fine for me, ill sort out proper email after i get a new comp
 
ouch!

Re: NTL > if you have a problem> do this DON`T put their software in> just set up your Email through OE Etc: when you send and receive> NTL will set up automatically hence >No problem ;) Well I don`t get any anyways 12 Years on:p
