That what I did for different than scanner reasons. I returned the

$1,000 for new programs. Plus you don't get Outlo0kVista seemed to
be total failure. I understand MS is working on the next version.

Guys, I'm going to sit back and look at all the options.
The dual boot option sounds great but it requires you to start with
an XP machine and then add Windows 7. I have enough work into
Windows 7, which has an HP reserved recovery partition, that I am not
inclined to lose all that to install XP and then re-install 7. If
you go the opposite route, just install XP and hope to get Windows 7
boot reinstalled, the options on the Internet are many and
varied. I'm no longer a risk taker nor an early adapter. I could be
when I had my company but now I'm out of that mode.
I don't plan to bring my old box back to life for several reasons,
noise being one, size another, and the fact that as I was removing
the old drives, one by one, to copy their content to my external
backup drive, one of the power supply cables lost it's insulation on
a sharp edge and burned up. I cut it off and the Power Supply still
works, but I want that box out of my sight as soon as possible.
The logical approach is to make a spot in the office for the laptop
and use it for XP stuff, including the scanner, etc.
I promise I will stop posting on this thread and really appreciate
all the helpful comments.
Regards and thanks,
DAW
