I hate to be ‘that guy’, but really, install Linux Mint and be done with all this silliness.

I’m going to agree with you on Linux Mint, however, I can’t run Netflix instant play on Mint so use XP for most of my computer work. I do love Mint though, and I hope soon Netflix will realize that there are people other than Microsoft users in the world.

Thanks! I’m working on this right now! I’m betting that your advice will be helpful to a number of others, as well.
