I hope you realize using XP on the internet makes you a nice juicy target for malware !

Dell System Software if any second

then everything else

Thanks for that.

Chipset driver installed.

Where do I find the Ethernet controller.

Why do you need to go online with XP to download the program?????

You can download the program on any PC even those running 64-bit OS.

Copy on USB drive.

Take over to PC running XP.

Install program.

I have even downloaded a Windows program on my Linux PC and installed the Windows program on my Windows PC.

It really is very simple, and you are making it harder than it needs to be!

Hi

This is the message in my email folder.

One or more of the file types you have attached is not supported. Please remove the unsupported file(s).

I thought if I could access the file via my email on Windows XP the message would disappear.

But you are correct, I’ve just downloaded the program on to a flash drive. Thank you.

However, leee488, I’ve spent so much time on this problem that I’ll still try and get online with

Windows XP.

Cheers

Phil

.

email?

What the heck are you doing?

When I purchased the program it was sent to me as a zip file via email. I kept the original there for emergencies.

Now do you want to hear the latest, I downloaded the program on to a memory stick and loaded into my XP computer, pressed run and it says, error missing file so and so.

The End

Thanks for your help and Happy New Year.

I am not surprised that the XP program is depending on common files which are no longer common such as Visual Studio 6 run-time or perhaps an even older program that it no longer sold.
