It conflicts with both my router and Norton. Couldn't even get started to get on internet.... It is so messy we have decided not to install it on our business laptops for fear we'll have to reload like Leonard. It takes 15 hours to reload my laptop and make it all work.

They were pretty quick on a question I had about it. They are really sucking up to their customers right now and are eager to help. Also (not saying this describes any of the honest, well intentioned, upstanding saints here at Worthy :whistle: ) if you are running a pirated copy of XP, it might cause problems too. Blessings, t.

This version of XP is very much legal, LOL! However, if I ever go looney and put on DOS 6.22 with Windows 3.1, Bill Gates might come get me for piracy since those don't belong with this computer-I have a older Compaq running Win 95 and it has been known to crash and I keep a copy of both 3.1 and 95 just in case!
