I upgraded to windows XP from Windows ME. I have lost everthing. There qre no
prgrams in my program list. Not even XP. Nothing in My Documents. When I
tried to remove XP, it doesn't even show up when I go to add and remove
programs. I have a home business and I have lost everything. Help Please!!!!!
Thanks in Advance

the 3 most important things you can do with your computer
backup
backup
backup

apparently you did not "upgrade"
this sounds like you did a "new" install where the old ME was erased and XP
installed.

You can't remove XP from within XP.

If your post is regarding Office 2000, and or Outlook 2000, post to an
Office group or Outlook group.
And dont include someone elses irrelevent post
