What is so destructive about saving your money and using 32bit versions of Windows XP because it is what you have? I see people keep upgrading from XP, to Vista, to 7, to 8, 8.1, and now 10 and spending money left and right. Well I have to be frugal. I don't want to be in my old years and wishing I never made all those purchases and living out of the trash so to speak! Anyways if you really want stable use 32bit XP where all the softwares were originally made for. Then dual boot to one of your other latest and greastest systems so you can keep up with the times. I see my parents are stuck in the stone ages and yet they still raised me and my two sisters up by their hard work not by buying the latest and the greatest all the time!!!
