Hi to All,

First of all, many Thanks! for all your advice & wisdom.

VK with WIN 98SE + Firefox 2.00.20 works again as of today.

I did nothing, therefore a mystery! like last time.

Advice needed:
I am going to convert the old gal' to XP.
Having good USB support + over 120Gb drives is the incentive.

I've purchased some new legit genuine Microsoft software. One was already installed, the other 2 are new, never used.
Question: as XP is no longer supported, will i be able to get a definitive post-installation product key when the machine connects to MS for registration?

You may ask, why XP rather than WIN 7 or 8.1?
Simple: i use a very old version of ACT! which won't run on either of the above. It runs on XP.

I've been told about running a "Virtual XP machine" inside WIN 7 or 8, but i'm not familiar and ...scared. Sounds complicated.

Best Regards
