8.0 isn't officially supported on WinXP - I'm running 8.5 (also unsupported) without trouble.

Biggest pain with XP is hardware support - check all your stuff is supported - especially modern modems - there are still a lot of buggy beta drivers out there. Andrew Baines

All I can say is that (from a coding point of view) I've had no serious probs running VB apps that generate Crystal reports on Win2000.

Never tried XP .. I'd tread carefully

You're too harsh! Once you turn off all the XP enhancements and sort out hardware support it's just like 2000.
I upgraded from Me so it's a great improvement. The laptop I use for demo is staying on Win 2000 for some time though!

OK, I give up - I bought a new DVD drive and it's not compatible with XP. I'm heading back to Win2K. Andrew Baines
