Hi Chris,

I spent a large part of the Midwinter Festival trying (under a

I never upgrade windows version, I had problems with a w2k to XP once
and I have also found MS O/S seem to get very bloated with lots of
temporary files, fragmentation etc, it is normally a good excuse to
start a fresh.
I awoke this morning to hear Mrs. Gates on the Radio 4 'Today'
programme saying how much she and her husband would like to use their
fortune to do some good in the world. I have some suggestions. Does
anyone know where I should send them?
I can't help you with the Gates themselves however
http://www.ceoemail.com/ is very good and has contact details for Gordon
Frazer (MS UK MD)
I have had some good results using the contact on this site, although it
is normally passed to someone to deal with, it generally seems to have a
high visibility and a good resolve is often found.
Hope this helps

I agree with Peter, it is better install on a fresh clean partition
rather than to upgrade an existing installation. Can't help with
contacting the Gates.
Regards
Tim
