I think we can all agree that a clean, healthy, well performing computer is a great aid to us in our genealogy research. In order to keep our computers in this state, Microsoft is about to issue a large Service Pack for XP. You can read more about this and how to prepare your computer at: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx I have no connections to Microsoft other than being a user. Hope this is of some use. Art

Art, thank you for this information. I went in and read the information regarding the preparation for my XP, and had them scan my machine to see that I am set up for the automatic download, which I am, and then set my time of day that I am usually on the computer, so that it will be downloaded. Thanks again for all of your help, Lance and everyone else who is so knowledgeable.
