I have never had luck with XP and the copy I'm currently using is right off the shelf of Futureshop. (I thought it might have been the "other" copies I was using. - It wasn't.)
There is no virus, they all have Intel inside them.
There is no rhyme or reason to why we have this problem with XP. We used to have computers with Win2k running on them and never had a problem.
I'm only posting this because today I wanted to access one computer with my files and couldn't make Word open. So I had to burn a CD to do it on another machine. Which worked perfectly.
But I'm sure it won't tomorrow.
I'm just going to track down a copy of Win2K. And after this I'm going to look into a copy of "non-power" user linux. (Something that will allow me to run all windows products.)
Then after that, we are going to migrate to Macs.
