Yeah...you need to buy two sets of strings and put the A string where the low e should be, d where the A should be, etc...

it could be a problem in your bridge. i used to snap my high e everytime when i tried to tune it to D and try to tune it back to E. one time i poked my brother in the ear

made him bleed. anyway, if it happens very often it's not the string, it's the bridge or the nut or some combination of the two. have it checked if it keeps happening.
