And since I don't have internet access at home and XP is geared towards the internet, that presents problems. I've got all the firewall stuff taken down and now I'm getting messages all the time that I'm "at risk" and there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off that stupid balloon. Plus, apparently there are some compatibility problems between XP and Office 2000, to which I lost the disks in the divorce. It keeps trying to run the install feature. My Norton Utilities, which I've used in the past to override Windows tics, doesn't work with this version. This blows. And what's this Moviemaker shit? I ain't makin' no gottdamn movies, and I can't get rid of the program. That fucking camera better be worth it; that is, if I have enough space on my hard drive to use it. I am one disgruntled motherfucker.
Maybe my brother can help. He had an old computer like mine running XP; I'll have to ask him how he did it. There's so many years' worth of leftover crap from countless operations, I'd like to just start clean and install from scratch. We'll see.
