Alex,
You are right, this pc with only 64Mb of RAM is not very suitable for XP. I will not be using it for any real work, just to test some things. Kind of "crash and burn" pc. I inherited it from my daughter <g> as she got (I bought her <g>) a brand new Dell with 512 RAM. So I figured that rather than throwing the old one away, I will play with XP and learn it.
Thank you for your suggestions.
