before i do i have a couple questions
1- how do i install it.
2- Can i use that same CD that i buy to install windows XP in more than 1 computer? like with its activation code thingy?
3- do i loose all my files?
4- do i re-install my video card?
5- how do i make sure my video card is compatible in windows XP?
my video card is : NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS
2.Depends. Is it a legit copy? if yes, how many licenses did you buy?
3.Yes, you might want to back up the important things before you do it to a DVD\usb stick
4.Yes. Just to clarify, if you dont install it you can still see things on the screen, its just that you wont be able to use complicated things like 3d and directx (maple uses these). If you dont got the installation cd rom you can just google the card's name, these sort of things can usually be downloaded for free.
5.Theres no such thing as a video card that is not compatible with XP. Just download the driver that says windows xp.
