Windows XP does not suck just because it does not suit you any more than it
is the greatest thing since sliced bread just because it suits me. It has
been widely known every since it came out that there are probably many old
applications that will not run on it. There are some tricks to try to make
them run, but you are pretty much on your own.

First of all you need to learn proper etiquette! Typing with capital
letters is rude. Second, getting rid of XP because you have all
antiquated, obsolete programs is not the solution. Replacing them is. If
you don't want to keep up with modernization go buy a play station. You
don't belong in computers. Having no money is no object,you can replace
a lot of those old programs with free ones from download.com. There are
other things you can do but I will not bore you with the details. :-(
