Not too long ago, I assisted at a company that upgraded 210 workstations from Win 2000 to XP Pro. Of the 210, 6 had issues and 2 were printer related (network printers). Upgrading would avoid reinstalling the software which would be very time consuming. I am trying to avoid a clean install. Thank you for the input
