Take my advise and keep your XP. I recently got a new computer with Windows 7 and I hate it. Your PSP will work, and Animation Shop will also work. I have PSP 7 through 12, but mostly use 10. Very few of my plug-ins/filters will work. When I try to download a filter that isn't working I am given an error message : Access denied, telling me Administrative privileges may be required.... I have not found anyone that can help me with this. Hey, I am the administrator!!!! The only thing I enjoy about it is the 23 inch screen.

On my old computer when I clicked on an icon on my screen I was instantly taken to the program. Now, I click sometimes 8 to 10 times before it opens my program.

I know you will have to update from XP sometimes but I reallllllly wish I had not. Sorry to be so discouraging but telling you the facts as I am experiencing them. If anyone can help me with these problems I am listening.

I do not like Windows Live Mail. I had Outlook Express and was pleased with it.

I have to get a ready made one & don't think I can get one with XP. I no longer do much with PSP so hate to buy a more expensive custom made to get XP.. The main thing I do is resize & stuff like that. That is how I scan so that may be a problem. I don't like changes. I think this computer has some serious problems & about to die..
Thanks,
Dar

Thanks for the update. Commiserating with you about the cable, etc. DH and I have spent most of three days here on Maui, grappling with Computer, Cable, BluRay, Amazon Prime for streaming. The condo association switched to Oceanic for internet; had them for TV earlier. They've failed twice in three days; next time they will send someone with a new gizmo. (Modem/router/whatsis) Take it easy. No need to do everything immediately. You aren't used to the weather. Wishing you many happy years in your Florida home!

mtvhike, don't you first want to ask how much data storage he's using and what kind of files they are? So I'll ask - big al, what kind of files do you have and how much space is being used in total? A file is a file is a file as far as a Windows version is concerned. File compatibility can be in issue with different versions of a program/application, but not with different versions within the same operating system family. And sometimes not between families either. I'm not a fan of having more than one internal drive, unless the extra space is needed for apps using very large files frequently accessed. That's true for few people. You're really better off having backups files disconnected and offline and not on the PC you're using ( to be safe from power surges) and with extra files on cheap external drives easily replaced.

Hi, I too haven't been here for a long time & you have probably already got your new PC. But in case, I am running PSP 8 on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit with no problem. I am really amazed at the number of my old programs I can run. Sometimes I get a message saying that it may not have installed properly, do i want to reinstall using the recommended settings, click OK, it will reinstall again & works fine.
