The Xray machine at hospital works only with Windows Xp. The Camera and finger scanner at goverment works only with Windows Xp.
As long as you have a good firewall, basic knowledge, and common sense, you will be fine.

I am very sorry but you cannot install IE9 on Windows XP. I have tried it before myself. Unless there is some hack I don't know about IE9 will not run on Windows XP. Do you need a newer browser? Is this why you want IE9? There are a lot of good (and safe) alternative web browsers out there such as Google Chrome, Firefox, and Opera. The picture I made above is just a concept of how IE9 would look if XP could run it. Sounds like a pretty good printer you have there. Dot matrix printers are very good and reliable. I would not recommend moving off XP, you will just need reliable virus protection to stay safe online.

2014-09-27T12:32:39+00:00 Don.. Can you possibly tell me, if I can install I.E. 9 and will it run with XP ? I don't want to change from XP, as my printer (an old Epson), is not compatible with anything but XP. It's a great printer ! Everyone thinks it's a laser printer, because it prints so clearly, but it's the best dot matrix that Epson ever made. Besides that, it takes ribbons ($4.25 a piece) and not expensive cartridges. Thanks ! Elena
