Updating from ME to XP home on Gateway using AMD Athalon Processor
I've seen variations of this problem posted in the past. To date I've yet to
see a firm work around for this problem posted by anyone anywhere! Not trying to be funny but have you thought about getting another CPU with XPHome Edition pre-installed?
