Update ME to XP

[Guest Joe]

My parents purchased a digital camera which did not support ME. I installed

XP. Now it appears that my mothers files are there, but not the programs. It

tries to open them in wordpad. Therefore it gives odd symbals. rather than

what she had in her document. It also eliminated her address book in outlook

express. I do not see her virus protection either. Please help to get this

back. I have not installed anything since this happened.

How did you install XP, I assume that the machine was capable of running

XP. ?

Look around add/remove programs what do you see?.

 

Maybe try to take the most insignificant program and reinstall it and

see if it works right.
