My new computer runs Windows XP and I was in for some surprises. First, my old scanner and printer do not support Windows XP, so those will have to be replaced. Second, XP does not support the msbackup program that I have been using, so my backup files on my external hard drive were not accessible. I did get the old machine booted up long enough to copy my essential data and photo files to the USB hard drive, which I then connected to the new machine and copied the files. To top it off, the new version of Excel will not run the old Macros in my financial spreadsheets. I'm about half way converted after 2 1/2 days of work. Good Luck! Jim Nichols
