Claire,
Try loading the programs. Most will work fine without any extra effort on your part. Those that do give you trouble, most can be run in compatibility mode as the previous respondent recommended. Very few programs won't run at all in WinXP. -- Regards, Len Segal, MCP Microsoft - MVP -------------- My reply address is intentionally wrong to reduce SPAM Email.
