and this is just 1 of the problems you will find in XP.......best not to upgrade till its been out a year at least....then it might have compatability issues and other bugs worked out.

I bought XP and tried loading it on three different machines. It kept coming up with different glitches that prevented it from installing. I even went as far as completely reformating a hard drive but still couldn't install Windows XP. After I finally got tired of pulling my hair, swearing and stomping, I gave up and decided to be content with Windows 98. I don't recommend XP as an upgrade. If you are determined to have XP, I have mine for sale. Anyone want to buy my XP?

Something else to consider: I have been told by Gerber tech that you cannot use XP with their programs yet. I also have heard that the same is true of other CAD-CAM programs. They say they are waiting until XP is fully debugged before addressing compatibility. That usually takes 6 to 9 months for reactions from users are incorporated into the upgrades.

Wow, The Fox News story makes me wonder why they release this new OS BEFORE it's been debugged. I guess we are the guinnie pigs. They should PAY us to use it for a year.
