Hi, When you say, "you have Windows XP because you hate anything later than that," does this include Windows 7? Have you tried Windows 7? If so let us know why you hate it? If not how can you judge? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, rude,etc, but I just wanted to illustrate the point if you mean

Hi Jason, Yeah, guess I have been pretty darn lucky with not ever having any hard drive crashes. Don't know why I've burnt up the CPU a few times. Actually I do, but never mind. BFN Jim Happy Ground Hog's Day j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio

Hi Jim, I'm not sure of the exact version of Windows XP you have, but this is what I have personally noticed. If you take Windows XP, with SP2 already installed, and don't put a lot of other third-party applications on it it will run great for a long time. The second you begin adding all kinds

Hi Jim, In all fairness, hard drive crashes are hardware errors. The fact that you haven't had one is probably just statistical luck. Out of the box XP (or any Windows in recent memory) is far worse stability wise than a fully updated one. That said, I completely agree with "if it isn't broke, don

Hi Che, Yes, I remember that you sent me a demo of Rail Racer. Truthfully I have not tried it. I never installed any net framework on either of my computers. This one might have it though. So I might have to try installing the game. I do not up date my computers with the newest Microsoft
