Your're going to love this. You can try loading over the top of FE but I sadly fear you will have to format your Hard drive and do a clean install of SE with all that entails including backing up data, saving Address Book, Favourites etc. and making sure you have your sound, video, and modem drivers and you record your internet settings and POP3 and SMTP addresses...Good Luck
If you will put the install stuff from the CD on the hard drive in an installation directory, then reboot into dos [F5] then move deltree out of windows to a place you can use it, you can delete the registry files and do an over the top install. Some require the registry to be blown away, some require win.* stuff to be gone from the windows directory, and some require the windows directory to be blown away. It will be a headache to get everything to work again, and you may have to manually delete stuff and reinstall, but it has worked for me on minimal systems. Ed Fair
