hello...  pardon me for been so direct. here it goes:

i have both the Windows 98 SE CD and Windows Home Edition(which says bootable and upgrade, original full version)

Currently i am running Win 98 SE. because of that, i cannot run photoshop cs 8 and a lot of other program and stuffs.

so i want to change to win xp HE.... i want to delete all the stuff in my win 98 and i only want win xp he on my pc...

i am very confused as to what to do... any help would be appreciated. currently its 12:52 AM over here... so i will be back at 1pm.... hope to hear from all of you as soon as POSSIBLE. thank youwhere is this rest of your question?Your computer may not be compatible with programs such as Photoshop 8 and Windows XP because it might simply lack the processing power.

1st make sure your computer will run XP.

Then put the xp disk in, boot your computer, enter bios & set the cdrom to boot first.
When it boots to the xp disk choose the option to do a fresh install.
Remember you will lose everything on your hard drive.what does Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution video adapter and monitor means?

i used pc wizard to find out what is  inside my computer system. i passed every requirements but stumbled on this.

how  do  i enter bios?
What video adaptor do you have?

Normally enter bios by hitting Del at bootup.i cannot find video adaptor.. is it the same as video card? if it is, then mine is S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR.
how do i set it to boot from cd?
the only option i have is F2:setup and F11: boot menu. which one do i go?

Yes, video adaptor is the video card.
Google for "S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR" and see if it comes up to the xp specs.
Google for your monitor and see if it comes up to the xp specs.
Read your mobo book to set the boot order.i google for my monitor like you said. mine is Nissei Sangyo but then the result showed this http://list.driverguide.com/list/company732/
