:-)) ... to tell you the truth: a few months ago I completely reinstalled XP from
scratch ... all went well, according to "Redmond".

However I do not have the same expert knowledge of Windows as Corinna or you have;
as result of that, I do not see "the signs on the wall" if something is 'obviously'
wrong.

So, my machine might not turn out to be a misfit, meaning: others, who are still in
favour of using XP, are strongly advised to test Corinna's work as well.
