Do you like the XP? Is it any better than w98?
I only use my puter for NG, record keeping and a little surfing.

Now it's doing it to Moorons posts.
If I hit ''properties'' , I now see ''line 4'' (references) is

way
long.
But, I can't delete them.

There is no 'open with- WP' option. I'm using Win-95.

Yes...it's way far and above 98...I had ME on the Gateway and hated
it...actually considered going back to 98 for a time because it was so
quirky...I bring work home and have a lot of stuff on Excel files and need
to run full Office...alos, I ahven't had a system carash since I've had
it...home or at work...
XP is quicker, more efficient, and I have had no problems with it at
all...we upgraded at work about 43 years ago and it made all the
difference...when we were using our software packages on 98 we had hang-ups
and all kinds of errors....haven't ahd that since we went to XP Pro...

Yeah..the manual to my Yamaha keyboard is a translation from the Japanese
version....explanations look all right until you start to apply them, then
you realize that syntax the sentences is wrong and some of the directions
are backwards...

You really are a novice aren't you. Why don't you "surf" to one of the
