I am definitely going to try this!!!
Why?
Because I have an old scanner I like that works with XP. I am about to install a new hard drive and put an XP partition on it just for this scanner. Win 7 for the real OS I will be installing and using on this computer
It’s Dead Jim , STOP USING XP !!!
Microsoft Windows 8 wrecked my computer when it was used to replace Windows 7 (because it was hacked and I got them to clean up the system, or so I thought). Still waiting, since April, for my new Windows 7 disk so I can use something that is reliable for my needs. WAITING!
Called Microsoft several times and got shuffled from office to office, including by the Legal Department, back to the Support Office which couldn’t help me resolve outstanding contract services including a new disk.
I want to know why Microsoft can’t devise a decent Windows program that is both protected and useable. We’ve got a new one in our office and I can’t find half the standard editing commands.
Just because it is “new” doesn’t mean that it works as well as the “old”.
Damned. I love WordPerfect 7 and have it on another computer as a backup. Staying with that winner for home work.
At least this makes sense to me now, but I'm still really ticked off that I can't safely use my old XP computers/programs that I liked SO much better than the "up-graded" ones I have now...
Why does MS discriminate against flat-earth types like me? lol
I think XP is faster then Windows 7.
I like some things in 7 but it feels slow compared to XP.
bfl
Scanner? I remember those. I haven’t used mine in years; take a picture with your phone and email it to yourself.
