I have a question about How do I uninstall Windows?:

I am trying to uninstall Windows Xp - not compatible with my computer - it is not listed in the Add/Remove programs. How can I get back to Windows ME?

Typically with a Windows OS upgrade change, the install process includes a backup of the previous OS, in your case Windows ME. You should look for the uninstall, to return to the previous OS. However, if at all possible it is best to load your Windows OS as if it were a new installation. If you have your WinME disk, it would be best to reload the ME OS to your hard drive. If you do the later, you will also have to reload all of your other sofware, such as your word processor, etc. A CAUTION: If you are unfamiliar with installing an OS, it would be best that you contact a Microsoft tech first. Be prepared to backup any non-OS related files that are on your OS drive - typically the C: drive. Your licensed copy of WinXP provides you with free basic technical service from Microsoft, and they can either help identify your computer's hardward/OS incompatibility issues, or walk you through the uninstall/install procedure. Good luck.
