Does anyone know or use Sympatico High Speed on Windows XP?
Also, does anyone know if it's possible?

And I would also wish to know if there is a list anywhere listing the compatible and non-compatible ethernet cards with Sympatico Hisg Speed.

Here is my other message:
How to choose between booting 2 different OSs at startup.
Ok, my dad had done this for me before, and now he's not available and I really need to know how. I know it's possible. Here is my situation:

1. I have Windows XP (2002) installed On my PC
2. I need Windows ME also for my Sympatico high speed to work. Because i don't know how to set up a TC/IP strackin in win XP. (I don't know what it is, BTW)
3. I heard i can somehow partition my drives, so that after the DOS boot-up, a DOS menu appears and lets me select if I want to start WIN ME or WIN XP. I think it has something to do with the Autoexec.BAT executable or something. Anywayz, it's really important and i'd appreciate any help ASAP. :)

The main problem is that the Sympatico Software, will not detect my Ethernet Card. While on the cheap Win 95 system (i'm writing from) it workz. It says that a TCP/IP stack is not detected, and it's too complex to work with Win XP DUN controls, in my opinion.

Thanx in Advance,
Mikelo2k :p

You do not need a PPPoE driver for Xp. It has one.

Second, Autoexec.bat is not executable. It is a batchfile. pardon my old fashioned ways :)

To dualboot windows 98 and XP, install 98 first, then install XP. Do not choose upfgrade. it will ask you. Also, do not convert to NTFS.
