Hi Again.......
After Buying XP Home and Installing it Ive decided that I dont like it that much...I prefer M.E.....so What I did was Installed Me on one 80 gig hard drive and installed XP on a seperate 80 gig Hard drive ...what can I use to boot between the two Hard Drive/OS's?
Mind you I like XP for the stability but it wont run my Games, and my recording software ( Im a Musician) M.E. on the other hand will run all of my games and music software etc....but it doesnt support files over 4 gig.:>( Any Help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks in Advance ,Galaxy |

XP should run any programs you have fine, it has a compatability mode.
if you install your program, right click and run in Windows 2000 compatability mode.

The differences between the two versions of XP should not change the outcome of the problems Galaxy is having with game and music software compatability.
