I'm preparing to attempt a clean install of winxp tab ed on my thinkpad x41. Some of the current lenovo drivers want net framework 3. I'll be installing winxp tab ed sp2 - I think that only has net framework 1.1 So I plan on installing the net framework(s) - 2, 3 & 4 - and then my lenovo drivers and then update to sp3. If I remember my reading on net framework correctly some apps work on 1, some on 2 and some on 3. Is that correct or can I just download the latest net framework, which is 4?

mac 10.6 on macbook pro
WinXP sp2 on Dell 380 w/ 512 MB RAM- currently dead in the water
WinXP tab ed sp 3 on Thinkpad X41 w/ 1.5 GB RAM - lemony flavored
Win2K Sp4 on Sony VAIO GXR600 w/ 512 MB RAM - currently blue screening

Unfortunately each version of .net framework is independent of the others. The newer releases are not "cumulative" updates.

Hi -
You will find that .net 3.5 is also required for many more recent items to function as they should -
