Glenda - I certainly hoped the guys did a clean install. I had some "professional" work done and the computer wasn't any better than before. Then I called on a friend who I have the utmost confidence in, he wiped my hard drive and did a clean install. So far everything seems to be running quite well.

I'm very pleased. Deed Mapper is the last program I need to install, so it looks like the best thing to do is just give it the old college try! Thanks for everyone's input. Glenda Glenda - Upgrading from one OS to another is not a good idea. It is always best to do a clean install. I don't know how to do that so it is worth it to me to have someone do it for me. I just went from Win2K to XP Pro.

Tom, Did you upgrade to Win XP or was it a clean install? I forgot to mention that mine was an upgrade from Win 98. Glenda I am using Deed Mapper with Windows XP Home Edition. Though I have not been using it extensively I have found no flaws to date.
