I've had a shocking upgrade experience, can anyone please help. I have
a Sony Viao with XP home pre-installed, I thought an upgrade was a
simple instert an upgrade Pro CD and click away, (luckily I save my
work & outlook). After an upgrade on startup the following error is
being reported 'not enough virtual memory' - if you try to restart it
just keeps rebooting over and over again.
 
As per Microsoft web site, you cannot upgrade XP Home Servicepack 1 to XP Pro without a service pack. But there is a workaround to install a fresh copy of XP Pro, upgrade it to Servicepack 1 and install all the Sony drivers and Applications. I am compiling a document with the installation steps and the web links to download the necessary drivers for VAIO notebooks. I will post it as soon as it is ready
