   My PC had XP Home installed about 2 years ago and even though it contains   
   minimal programs it is running very slow. I wanted to reinstall the   
   operating system taking it back to a factory condition. It originally came   
   with windows ME and I have the restore discs for this.   
      
   Questions:   
      
   Do I restore back to the original ME operating system  and then just upgrade   
   to XP home?   
   Should I complete the operating system upgrade before installing peripheral   
   devices? printers etc.   
   Is the upgrade from ME to XP just a straight forward process and does it   
   involve just entering the XP disc and following the prompt?   
      
   My system   
   Compac presario desktop   
   20G hard drive   
   851M processor   
   512 M Ram   
      
   Can anyone please point me to some online documentation to asssist with   
   this.   
      
   Regards
