Win XP
Having a lot of trouble wih internet connections; it will not stay connected, dropping off line often, and does not want to connect if left idle for too long (cable modem). I was told that the Home Edition of XP is not as good for handling the internet as is XP Pro. Does anyone know if I can upgrade from HE to Pro? I am using a HP pavillion which uses proprietary software, there are no disks, everything is in the Hard Drive. I would imagine a conflict if I tried to install a new OS.
