Hi

I have a stand alone PC with Windows 2000 on, I have purchased a copy of XP Home Upgrade but when ever I upgrade it I get an error message say, "Setup cannot upgrade you current version of Windows to XP, Invalid upgrade path, Setup cannot continue"

Can anyone help

?

XP upgrade cant do fresh install.

No it says 'wrong type of cd' inserted or something along those lines.

So to use my upgrade cd im going tohave to, by the goings of that table on MS website, either 98/98se or ME installed to upgrade?

Yes it can!!

I have the upgrade XP disk and it has done fresh installs many times on my home PC, it asks you for a disk of a previous suitable version, then carries on installing.

Really? Is that what the message says? Perhaps I just interrupted it wrongly.
