Question
how can i switch my computer from me to xp

Answer
Hello Jason,

All you need is the windows xp cd and it will do the rest upon insertion and setup.  The things that you should have with regards to the hardware, is a minimum of 256MB of memory (RAM) however I wouldn't go anything less then 512mb personally.  I suggest making it a clean install and not an upgrade however this would mean reinstalling all your other programs, you will most likely find it to be the best way anyway, since there will be many incompatibilities with various programs upon the windows xp install.  

Visit my website at http://tpsconsulting.com and read the TIPS page on OPTIMIZING your computer as I suggest once you get XP installed, this is the first thing I would be doing.. go to the SOFTWARE/SUPPORT page and install all the programs from the PINK section as they will help with the cleaning/removal and ongoing maintenance from the spyware/malware issues.

Hope this helps,

Sincerely

Mike Dacre
