I decided to upgrade the OS on my standby laptop from XP Home to XP Pro, so sent off to woman-with-spear.co.uk for the official upgrade disk.
Popped it into the disk drive and got the 'Can't install as your copy of Windows is more recent than the disk' warning.
Then decided to uninstall SP2 and try again. Uninstall took ages...
In with the disk again - off it went. But far from an easy install, reboot required heavens knows how many times. Eventually it loaded, but in a very low screen definition. Sorted that out, then I couldn't connect to the Internet as it had done 'something' to the wireless manager. Clicked on something which worked, then registered...then downloaded and installed SP2. Which took an absolute age.....
But all seems OK now..........
Longhorn, anyone? YGBSM!!
