Question Upgrading from Win98 to WinXP

A few months ago I wrestled with upgrading an Athlon XP 1600+ system (which has been running Win98SE and MicroEditor 5.4 successfully for a many months). I have 512 Meg of RAM installed. I'm using a Krystal 2400 board purchased many years ago (1997, I think).

I never succeeded, but I think I've found some of the reasons why.

For example, I was trying to run in 32-bit color mode and I see from another post that 16-bit will work better.

What I would LIKE to do, if I can, is upgrade this system to WinXP using an upgrade version of WinXP (Home) since that's what I have.

So, here are at least some of my questions (I'll post more as I think of them):

1. Has anyone ever successfully upgraded a MicroSound workstation of any kind from Win98SE to WinXP Home, using the "uprade OS" method?

2. Do I have to uninstall MicroEditor 5.4 before I do this upgrade? (And if so, is there a .vxd or .dll file I have to delete from the Windows or Windows/System folder? Any other changes that I need to make to system.ini, etc. before I start?

3. Is anyone using Krystal, MicroEditor 5.5 and WinXP (Pro or Home) with an Athlon XP system?

Thanks in advance!
