Now I need to get XP saved so I can run everything else that I have that likes XP on my hardware that I have to fix from time to time. The person that I talked to told me that he knew my name because they still use my drawings and code. I called my old company to get papers to retrieve my 401K and introduced myself, figuring that they would not know me. I lived in Kettering (south of Dayton) and was an embedded system designer, so I wrote a lot of machine language code and needed the emulators, etc to keep them up to date. They are for old programs that I wrote and I wanted to keep the capability of running and editing them. I also still have my old DOS disks and Windows 1.0, 2.0, 3.1, 5, 6 and 6.22. I have seen 8 running in stores, and it is pretty scary to an XP and Linux user. ![]() ![]() I have recently came into possession of a Win 7 unit, and it is awkward but also obsolete. ( I dream in color, too) However, as you said, it is indeed MS and they really want us all to buy Win 8.X and 9.X and. Then I saw a way to get a homemade service pack 4, but like you, I hope that MS does it for us. I had to always install the Nvidea drivers when I re-installed, so I found DriverPacks. ![]() I was planning for the worst, but I found driver packs by having troubles with newer raid drives, which should be OK, but if you let the machines sit until their batteries die, for some reason I could no longer boot the mirrored drives. I had hoped that it would be as you said that they would keep things online but just not add anything new.
