Need Help with Windows XP Installation

I have XP but am reluctant to install. Someone told me that Roadrunner S/W is incompatible with XP. Anyone know for sure?

Can someone tell me what Roadrunner Software is? I have Roadrunner and all I ever did was configure a network card, mail server and set the homepage.

Uh, ummm, I'm running Roadrunner as I speak, and have for 5 years, but I never installed the RR software. Suspect it is just a different locally based home page or cover page like AOL and others use. Whtever it is, you don't need it.

Not true. At least the RR service is not incompatible. Running RR here on both Win2000 and XP machines.

Thanks Paul, that's what I thought.

"Not true. At least the RR service is not incompatible. Running RR here on both Win2000 and XP machines."

I spoke directly to RR tech support and they confirmed that they do not support XP. "Some of our customers are running XP with no problems; however others have reported problems. We are in beta right now. XP will not be formally supported by RR until 11/30/01."

I have no idea what they are talking about with "support". I've used RR for 5 years and never needed their "support". The point it that it WORKS FINE with XP, 2000, ME, 98, 95, Red Hat Linux, Mandrake Linux, and everything else I've tried. What else is there to need to know?
