Tom,

I can remember some years ago there was talk about Slipstreaming
a XP Install CD.

I never studied any more about it since the only XP box I have
didn't come with a XP Install CD or DVD.

I was 'requested' to make one when I started using it and I did,
it took 2 DVDs to hold what was is stored on the 8GB D:\ partition.

This HP a1430n box lacks the ability to Boot from a USB Device even
though HP did offer a BIOS update, which I did install.

I wrote them requesting another BIOS update for this model computer
but they didn't care to offer one AFAIK.
It's been a while since t looked for one on their website.

I called Microsoft the other day to ask them if I started using
Microsoft Updates to see if their were any updates for
Microsoft Works, if I wanted to go back to Windows Updates would
I be able to do that.

The person I talked with said something about Works being Old Software
and it isn't supported anymore and then talked about 365 being the
latest offer from them..

I asked he if he had any information for how I could change
the Defaults to some programs like Notepad and Wordpad to
send them to me, and I gave him my email address.

I haven't seen any thing from MS in either my In-Box or Junk-Box yet.

I didn't even try to see what Microsoft Updates has on it for my
two computers that have Microsoft Works on them.

I will just do as Woody Leonhard says, and right now He says: Wait.

... Press Any Key. I don't see an ANY key.
