"Upgrading" OS- can't loose a program
So my girlfriend has a P3-1200 with 192 megs of ram, bought in summer 2000. We've been living together for a little over a year now and she finally come to understand that I have always been tweaking it and always will, and recently agreed that we should upgrade to XP home. I'm running xphome on the laptop and my primary motivation is easier networking, I'm sick of 98 and xp fighting with each other.
The xp discs I have are 'for a new system' and require a clean install. The problem is an address-book contact list type program. It's been installed and used for over three years and I've been directed that loosing it is not an option. Simple enough, but although she can produce the jewelcase, she can't produce the original install disc.
If it was an 98-98 or a xp-xp transfer, I'd just back up the installed directory and mess with the reg, but I don't know how to go about this process. Any advice is apprecieated.
