Carol,

If you have to ask, you definitely have the 32-bit version of Windows XP
Pro. The 64-bit version requires special, far more expensive computers than
normal PCs.

You do what you should have done before posting - you search the group(s) to
see if anyone might conceivably have had a similar problem. Had you done so,
you'd have found at least 5,000 answers to your question - please visit the

Patrick, haven't you realized that it's her job to police the newsgroup?

5 Steps to computer safety:
1) Use a good quality anti-virus, and keep it up-to-date.
2) Use a firewall. The one in XP works fine, but there are better ones out
there.
3) Keep Windows up-to-date. It's your choice whether or not you want the
recommended updates, but the critical updates are just that - critical.
4) Beware of adware and spyware. There are many programs that will help to
protect your computer, but it's up to you to prevent it as well. Make sure
you read the agreement of the software before you install it. It should
tell you if it will be installing any additional programs.
5) Be cautious of attachments. Microsoft NEVER sends out attachments via
email. Always scan all attachments before opening them.

Change the obvious to the obvious.

I do believe that you meant XP *Home* rather than XP Professional

Patrick,

No, I meant Windows XP Professional.

The 64-bit OS in the Window XP family of products is called Windows XP
64-bit Edition Version 2003.
If you have Windows XP Professional it is 32-bit
The original poster said she had Windows XP Professional.

See

for a manufacture shipping the product and the name

Yes well, I do believe you appreciate what I intended, I realized the OP had
said that s/he had Pro as soon as I posted, this did make the matter a
little different.

It is/(were) generally understood that 'Home' could not be 64bit, but Pro.
could be.

PS I made a much worse bo-boo than above the other day (crux being the OP
*did* have 64bit)

Anyways best wishes Patrick
 
Patrick,

Cassandra AKA Amethyst does not read replies to her posts. Killfile her and
be done with it. Most other people do.
