My XP Pro 32-bit gamer has been up and running for a while now, and I really get a kick put of playing Half Life, one of my favorites. The other day I needed to dupe a CD for a RMI on my recent tail bone surgery. As it turned out, the only PC or laptop in the house that was up and running with a CD-ROM was on my XP gamer. I attempted to open the CD and instead received an error stating that in order to see or run the MRI CD I need to upgrade to .Net FrameWork 4.0. I did a search with Mozilla and found a site where you don't have to subscribe or buy anything. The download and installation went without issue and I was able to read the CD and copy the contents to a desktop folder. I then opened IMGBurn, inserted a blank, CD and the burn was completed in a matter of minutes with the familiar 'pop goes the weasel' tune at the finish. What's nice about my XP setup, aside from gaming, it's still capable of browsing and performing useful tasks. Long live XP (and it has).
