John,

I have heard of a lot of people who are having XP problems. Many of them have to "reset" the computer by calling Seattle and sitting on hold for hours before some tech weenie tells them the code.

If you look on the internet you will find several places where you can download a "crack" for XP that may help you. I am not sure if this is the problem but it would be a good idea to get this anyway. After all, you paid for the program and its legal (right?) so you are only eliminating the wait time on the phone. Let me know if you want to find out where to download this.

Drivers are always a problem on any new OS (operating system) as our worthless friend Billy Gates refuses to turn loose with the code in time for the suppliers to work out drivers in time for the programs sale. This happened with 2000 as well and one of the reasons why I am still using W98SE!

Let the computer techies "debug" the new OS when it comes out, and buy it after the first SP (service pack) comes out and corrects most of the bugs that MS should have corrected in the first place!

You might want to try to re-install PET and see if it works, otherwise you have been trapped. XP is a brand new OS and lots of programs may not work, forever on some, and after patches have been done on others, so its worth letting someone else debug them first.
