OK Thanks. IE-7 was too slow for me on dial up so I uninstalled it the first day.

I’m frankly not prepared to hazard my PC for something as pie-in-the-sky as this.

I wouldn't characterize a staple of the mainframe big iron world for the last 20 years as "pie-in-the-sky".

I downloaded and installed SP3 today on my laptop and my desktop. No problems. Everything seems to be running fine.

I was referring to running a virtual version of XP over Ubuntu as pie-in-the-sky.

“Ubuntu??

An OS that can’t even run a mouse?

I don’t think so, Tim.”

I have used Ubuntu before and I am using a Linux Mint now which is based on Ubuntu now.. it runs my analog PS2 and my USB mouse just fine..

Windows XP, Service Pack 3, installed in about 30-35 minutes today,(Sunday, May 18) via a direct download from Microsoft Update. It works GREAT, and sped up my machine. You should update today!
