I know, I'm a day late, but I still wanted to express my deepest condolences for Windows XP, a 12 year old operating system that "died" yesterday. My family and I have had WXP for about 6 years now, so it's still a bit of a shocker to know that WXP is a no longer supported operating system. This sucks, 'cause now it leaves our computer at great risk. As I turned on the computer today, I already noticed a shit load of problems. Because WXP is now officially unsupported, it's very vulnerable to viruses and hackers. I had to run the pc in safe mode just to uninstall over a dozen programs that were installed by malicious viruses. Now it's going to be extremely hard to use the computer without having to duck and hide from all these ads and viruses. We plan on getting Windows 7, because it's like a better version of Windows XP, and it's not Windows 8 (which a lot of people say sucks, by the way). The only problem is, Windows 7 is bloody expensive, and I have a ton of files on here that I need to back up first. It's going to be a headache migrating to Windows 7, but it needs to be done before any serious damage is done to our pc. I don't know how often I'll be on here, because now I'm afraid to be on the internet, due to the evil hackers and the fact that our pc is an easy target. I just hope we can fix this issue soon. Wish me luck guys! Sorry if there are any typos, Safe Mode is pretty tricky to navigate. My browser is so zoomed in, I don't even need to wear my glasses. :giggle:

Good luck. If you run into any problems, shoot me a note about it. I have some tech friends I can ask advise from on your behalf. They've helped me with my laptop a few times in the past.
