Moved to that for my wife's XP machine a while back. Spyware doctor and AVG antvirus don't get along with each other anymore and I hoped that going to one unified /free/ solution might even speed things up a bit.

It has now arived and, I have to admit, is pretty quick. She can now watch iplayer full screen in HD without any issues. Now I have problems accessing printers from the RPC because her machine is used as a print server.

I'd agree Vista is probably better than Win98 - but then so it should be,
given the vast time between them. However, I'd guess you would have a
different view if you'd 'upgraded' from XP.

It kept on telling me 'you can't do this' when I knew I could. Like some
crotchety maiden aunt.

There is one area (at least) where 98 has it for me over XP - accessing the serial port. Many years ago I bought a box that can be programmed to divert incoming phone calls to different phones on the basis of their CLI. This box (obviously) needs to be programmed with a list of numbers that goes to port 2, while other go to port 1. The software that came with the box was written in visual basic and works fine on 98 - I think it was still 95 when it was written. The software runs fine under XP and even 7, allowing me to edit the phone numbers and so on - except that under XP and 7 it will not talk to the box. Googling for help finally told me that from XP software has been banned from directly addressing the serial port (which is how the box connects to the computer). So I need to keep an ancient laptop running 98 to deal with this task. -- Russell http://www.russell-hafter-holidays.co.uk Russell Hafter Holidays E-mail to enquiries at our domain Need a hotel? <http://www.hrs.com/?client=en__blue&customerId=416873103>

I have a MegaSquirt fuel injection ECU on the old car and the tuning
software for that communicates via the serial port. As do most of these
aftermarket ECUs. Works under '98 through to W7. Of course most laptops
these days need a USB to serial adaptor.
Think with XP (or perhaps older) I had to install Hyper Terminal first.
But that might have been with the earlier different tuning software.
