Remove the BETA version, then download the previous version

You should be able to unistall the old one. If they were windows, it should ask you to overwrite the old version.

If you upgrade with files in the recycling bin then they will be over written.\n\nTake them out of the trash and move them to the root (C:/ ) directory. Install XP over top of 98SE. But make sure you DON'T choose the option to format your C: Drive and they will still be there.\n\nOnly problem I see is if your old computer had 98 on it then it's prolly too old to run XP. Look for something a lil newer.

If you've installed Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP over an older version of Windows, you may be able to uninstall it using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Unfortunately, the uninstall feature typically doesn't work or leaves the computer in an unusable state. \n\nSince some new versions of Windows install new file systems, in addition to replacing most, if not all the program and support files, it is recommended that you simply reformat your hard disk in order to completely remove whatever version of Windows you've just installed.

If you are a legitimate owner of the software, you should have the original install media(floppies, CD, etc). If so, uninstall the software from the original machine and reinstall it on the new machine.\n\nThe only way to transfer the program to a new PC would involve make an image of the hard disk (use Ghost or equivalent) and load it on the new PC... Then load the operating system UPGRADE onto the new PC. There is no guarantee that the program will run under the new operating system, however.

your getting lost in the details---just boot from xp and follow to the upgrade-- they are assuming everyone is as dumb as me.... sorry-lol

Typically, if a newer version of software is installed and you want to install an older one, the program will promt you of that fact.  It may not let the install happen.  If not, you can always format your hard drive and install the version you want.  Of course, that woudl erase everything.

You probably need to uninstall the old version first.\nGo into Start, Control Panel, find current programme listed, and delete.\nYou should then be able to install new version.

What you want to do if to reformat your computer. That's OK. It will work much better after, but all your programs and data will be lost. So I suggest o back-up all your important data. And after the new installation of the OS(Windows, Linux or any other) you will have to install all your programs again. If you have problems contact me through e-mail and I will try to help you.\nGood luck!

Well you should first backup your files anyway. Keep in mind that once you install it you may not be able to go back to Windows XP without a complete re-installation. Also keep in mind that the BETA release will probalby expire.\n\nYou should be able to run the setup program from within Microsoft Windows XP. From there it should be straight forward. However, doing an upgrade such as this with a BETA version is extremely risky. I had ill-effects from the most recent upgrade I did.

it is possible the old software may conflict with the new ones provided, so i think it probably should be removed, since the new set is adequate for your computer's needs

You will probably have to reinstall most of your applications. \n\nThe Registry is where many applications store information they need to work. When you reinstall XP, you also overwrite the Registry, so any information stored there by your applications will be lost.

Not really.\n\nRestoring to 2 years ago also removed any newer restore points.\n\nOK.  It's possible...\n\nBut first! Stop using that drive immediately!\nYou may be writing over your data at the moment.\n\nBuy a new drive tomorrow and copy your system over to it.\n\nPut the old drive away.\n\nMeanwhile, think of what you need the worst, and any unique identifying characteristics it might have had.\n\nPick a data recovery service and send the drive to them with as much detail on what your data was like as possible.\n\nThere are several demo packages you can download that may show you what's available for restoration if you purchase the full software.
