Hi Shaun, Oh, I don't know. A lot of the newer stuff for Windows 7 simply is not backwards compatible with Windows XP. That's why Microsoft doesn't have an upgrade installation that upgrades Windows XP to Windows 7 and you have to do a complete reinstall. The operating systems are just too different to make that really possible. Only a certain amount of things can be upgraded from XP to Windows 7 compatible stuff, and then it is just not going to be upgraded without a massive rewrite or upgrade which microsoft won't do obviously. Let's face it, guys, Windows XP is ancient history. There is a reason Microsoft wants to begin dropping support for XP and not all of it has to do with money. It has to do with an operating system that is 9-years old and is becoming harder and harder to update and support while maintaining compatibility with their newer Windows releases. Weather youlike Windows 7 or not that's our future unless you decide to buy a Mac or go Linux. Windows XP is not going to be around forever.
