It depends on the pathces you apply to the OS,\n\nfor example: Windows XP with service pack 2 is much secure than the standard eddition of Windows XP.

Is it worth it, yes.  XP is more secure and reliable than Windows 98 ever was.  You might have problems with your drivers initially, just take note of your installed hardware and get the XP drivers for them.  Some of your devices like scanners designed for Windows 98 may not work in Windows XP at all, I know, I have a scanner that won't work at all under Windows XP even if the 98 drivers are installed, XP drivers don't exist for it.\n\nYou have two choices XP Home Edition or XP Pro.  What you want really depends on your budget.  They are essentially the same one feature missing from Home is Usermanagement, its pretty minor and its the only one I can think of off the top of my head.\n\nYou can get the full version of XP Home for around $80 online, http://www.bizrate.com/marketplace/search/search__cat_id--307,prod_id--6260967,sort--7.html and the full version of Pro for $134, http://www.royaldiscount.com/wixppr.html?ovchn=bizrate&ovcpn=bizrate&ovcrn=Microsoft+Windows+XP+Pro+SP2+Full+Version+OEM&ovtac=PPC\n\nI say the full versions because there are also upgrade versions which work okay but I would never just upgrade the operating system, its better to reformat your drive and install the full version.  The upgrade version just replaces files and modifies the existing installation of 98.\n\nAlso for running Windows XP, I recommend the following specs or better:\n\nPIII processor at 600MHz\n256MB of ram\n20GB hard drive\n16MB graphics card

Don't do it.  If you clear the secure socket layer in XP you won't be able to use secure sites properly.

Get a windows2000/xp cd. Boot off that and goto the recovery console and that will ask you password you can put & then you can access the WindowsXP "secure" areas .\n\nif you need more help, you can contact me.

If your using Windows 98/Me or below your not going to without added third party software.\n\nIf using XP Pro and your drives are formatted NTFS and you are using a password then your files should be secure unless you have made changes to the default setup.\n\nThe Briefcase feature in Windows XP helps you keep your files updated by automatically synchronizing multiple copies of individual files. In other words, Briefcase keeps track of the relationship between files on two or more computers. For example, if you use a desktop computer at the office, and you use a portable computer when you are on the road, Briefcase synchronizes and updates the files on your desktop computer to the modified versions when you reconnect your portable computer to the desktop computer.

Actually, Windows XP with no Service Packs, has a limit of 127GB, or 137 billion bytes (they're the same).  And you only need SP1 for that not to be the case anymore.

Although you probably shouldn't do it, if there is a cd-rom in the computer in question, yes you can.  There are several ways to go about doing this.  I would suggest reading the following page & comments.\n\nhttp://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2006/09/02/how-to-hack-into-a-windows-xp-computer-without-changing-password/\n\nYou could also use the backtrack linux distros bootable cd available @ http://www.remote-exploit.org/index.php/BackTrack

Unfortunately, most programs (including WindowsXP) today create temporary files as they work on your computer.  This includes numerous temp files every time a particular program may update itself.  While there is no preset number, you should expect around 500,000 for a fully installed XP SP2 system before you add any other programs or windows patches.  Over a million sounds like a lot, but in reality, really isn't.  My PC has close to 4,000,000 after every virus scan... and that includes photos, music, everything.

Microsoft is getting tough on people who use pirated software.  If the XP doesn't pass the validation scan MS offers an electronic Product Key for $149 USD (XP Pro) or $99 (XP Home).\n\nThere are several legal merchants who sell the software for a lot less.  Try www.edirectsoftware.com and they had XP Pro SP2 full install disks for about $100 USD.\n\nIf you purchase a full install CD you don't have to do a reinstall.  You can do a repair.  That let's you overwrite the existing XP, repair or replace any corrupted or missing files, register the new Product Key, and you don't lose any of your settings or other applications.  You will have to visit the update site to reinstall patches and fixes.

If you have a genuine copy of XP then allow WGA access in your firewall configuration.\n\nIf it's an illegal copy of XP, then you can't, you will have to purchase a legal copy as Microsoft know it's not legal, and will shut your OS down shortly.

i suggest you don't, Windows XP need at least 256MB or more of RAM to run smoothly
