Software Hey thanks for the info on my gateway with the vista, anyways I need to know if you can help me with which XP package to buy, I looked for it and they say on the package upgrade from 98 and 2000? Sorry to sound so dumb but its a drive to any store that sells this and I want to make sure I get the right software. And since I am not upgrading but installing new, Also I like your pic, very cool choice. :) Thanks again for any help you can give. Katbeck

Well I found a company to install the xp pro on the gateway, it loaded fine, but I am still having problems with picture it publishing platinum 2002, it opens in general way but when I try to open any of the stuff, photos ect to edit or use the program closes on me, the error is "c:\program files\microsoft picture it platinum 2002 pip.ext" abnornal program termination. I have checked everywhere to find a fix for this, but with no luck, can you help me with this?
