After the upgrade, I found
that the software did need
an upgrade. I choose not to
go this route, however, and
downloaded a patch and update
from Adobe’s website.
For the most part, my PhotoDeluxe
still works well after the
Microsoft Windows XP upgrade,
but I do still have problems
on occasion. Be prepared to
delete or upgrade some of
your older software when you
choose the XP upgrade. Once
the software problem was taken
care of, the installation
of XP went rather well, and
there were very few problems.
I have found that XP gives
me a better clue as to what
is going on with my computer,
and it warns me when my virtual
memory is low. I have an older
computer, so this happens
often. With Windows 98, I
never got such a warning.
Instead, my computer would
just crash. Now I can restart
when I get the warning, and
everything is good.
If you are considering buying
the Microsoft Windows XP upgrade,
go for it. You will not be
disappointed. Be wary of where
you buy it, however, because
some people like to see used
upgrades on eBay. This is
OK if they do not have it
running on their computer
any longer, but many try to
install and register used
upgrades only to find it is
registered and in use by someone
else. When this happens, your
new upgrade is useless. You
are better of buying a new
one.
