(OP)
Should I leave 2003 on my machine or delete it prior to installing 2004?

RE: installing SW 2004
I have SW01+, SW03 and SW04 all one machine and everything is great. You just have to pay attention to what your doing when installing and make a new installation each time and DON'T USE UPGRADE do an new installation and everything will be fine. I can't stress that enough.
SW needs to remove the upgrade option from that menu. I have yet to see that work correctly yet.

No it wouldn't hurt to delete it, but if you haven't ran SW04 and fully tested to make sure it works well for you and your with your products. It might benefical to keep SW03 on your system just in case you would need to backtrack back to SW03. Keep in mind you can't send SW04 files back to 03 still. That's why you need to fully test it before it's used in production.

That's a good question. I reformatted an old NT system and had to do a fresh install of SW 2003. Photoworks will no longer work (posted this in another thread). Is this any different with SW 2004? If not, how shall this be handled?

RE: installing SW 2004
So you have the new disks - PhotoWorks is on every set of SW disks.
You have to tell it you want that program and it will ask you for the original (98?) disk serial number (just like SW), but it will install fine. I think it may have varied a little. Sometimes I seem to recall it comes up with the choice first, others it waits till after SW installs. You need to tells it to install other options, or something - it's there somewhere. If I get round to installng 2004 at home this weekend I will be more specific next week.
Now if you load SW 2004 you have to have PhotoWorks 2 which again is on the disk with SW. The old stuff will not work.

Is XP pro different from OS that is described in the FAQ section? Does XP pro handle this differently?
Thanks in advance

There is a note in the FAQ "If some of those reg settings are not there, it's ok the Uninstall took them out. Continue on."
That means just like it sounds.

Just reinstall the toolbox back in the same folder as it was before.

RE: installing SW 2004
You are talking about reinstalling toolbox from 2004 correct?
If we reinstall toolbox in the same folder as before will we lose all of our configurations?
We tried a new install and pointed SW 2004 to the location of the old toolbox. We got an error saying that SW 2004 was not compatible with the old toolbox.
