In XP, the Hosts file is located under C:\I386, not under Drivers/Etc. I verified this on my XP Pro computer by using Everything Search to locate all files named "Hosts" on my computer. The only Hosts file on my computer that does not contain an extension after Hosts is the Hosts file located under I386. I'm pretty sure this is the correct file because it contains DNS addresses. So XP users may need to look under I386 to find the Hosts file to be modified with the additional line of text to make Webvisum work.
