My PC is about 5 years old - I know, a true dinosaur in this electronics age, but it works just fine except for the fact that now I have an iPod and I have trouble with it freezing whenever I try to use iTunes. I "believe" it's due to the 2k, so I think I want to upgrade to XP - not Vista.
I bought an upgrade disk - legit - which is "version 2002" and when I checked the system with it, etc., apparently this particular version upgrade will only upgrade from 98 or ME (what the heck happened to 2k - isn't it between those two??).
Anyway, purchasing a new PC is not an option, but I am not 100% certain that I don't just need to get more service packs, etc., for 2k which might fix the problem.
Any thoughts or suggestions for my dilemma? If the concensis is that I should upgrade (either to XP or Vista - gulp!) - where would I find the most cost effective (cheap) price?
Thanks for any help!
