Please refer to this site where it says Enditall2 works on XP as well as 98.
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,697,00.asp
Question is, do you have the latest?
I got Enditall2 when it was free (just before PC Mag started charging) and
therefore is probably not the latest, but works on my XP PRO. Note that
enditall2 is free with a subscription to the mag.
Life is what happens in between plans.
