Hi Folks, I upgraded recently from Win 2K to Windows XP Home Edition. I then upgraded to XP SP2. I had lot of Apps installed on Win 2K. Now when I try to run these Apps in XP, they don't work. When I reboot my machine and start Win 2K, can't do that anymore. Is there any kind of utility or setup that will allow me to run all my pre-existing Apps on Win 2K in Win XP? or Do i need to re-install them? Thanks in Advance, Anil
