Joefour, at least update to W7, which is okay, I myself jumped from XP to W7 directly two years ago, and it was a breeze. You XP does not get supported with security updates anymore (from right now on!), in other words if you iuse it on the internet, you help to spread malware and viruses and bring many many other people into trouble, because of your infested and unprotected platform.

If you are seriously ill and infectious, you also would not run around and sneeze your virus-infested breath into people's faces, would you?

You must not care for your own safety, and if you want to end up with a corrupted platform, okay, go ahead. But that you accept to bring hours of workload and even criminal fiscal risks onto others, is not excusable.

So for the sake of reasonability, update to W7, or cut the wire from that machine to the web forever.
