Thanks for the info and the web site. However, I have Windows 98se OS, and after taking almost 3 hours to download via dial-up, I was unable to install the upgrade. Do you have any suggestions for effective virus protection for the older OSs? I'm still resisting getting a new computer or OS for this one. I'm thinking that many of my favorite programs will not work with Vista--and I don't want to either buy all new programs/upgrades or learn alternate ones when the ones I have serve my purposes very well.
