The second time around is going better.
It needed more space.
32 GB.
I only gave it 5 the first time
and it caused major work.
I am enjoying the reloading process.
It shows that things work if you show down.
Learning a lot from this.
Asking for what other Users
Added a couple...
I see that this Windows is working much better with more room.
I am at the place where it says
No internet connection.
What did I do a few hours ago????
I had to add drivers...didn't I?
Also...I had to add virus protection.
What was the free ones?
Where did Apple tech say to go read the discussion?
VIRUS THREATS
Oh My God!
I am glad I checked
Look at this
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1290549
If you hook up to a the internet on Windows XP
or a windows program, you will be infected within 15 minutes
so install Virus Protection first.
There are a few free ones.
Can I trust one????

You could also consider Avast anti-virus, which is a completely free virus protection program that's updated as frequently as the bigger names. It's not shareware or crippled in any way. They give away their consumer client to raise awareness of their enterprise-level software, which costs big bucks.

C|NET gave them five stars, and I've been using it on my Parallels and Virtual PC virtual machines for a while now with no problems.

Since it sounds like you're working with an IT department price may not be a concern, but others reading this thread might be interested....
VIRUS PROTECTION
In the old days, I used
a NORTON ANTI VIRUS.
They say that AVAST.com downloads free,
for the Home edition.
I maked that I have a home business when I installed
Windows. I would not want to have a problem.
9:44 PM
This Norton Anti-VIrus protection
is big business.
They want a payoff once a year.
All I want to use this for is being able to
update my old websites on occasion.
I will be making new sites.
I do not want to invest more than $100.00 per year
to protect this old sites.
I would not be using the internet for other than
publishing my old website.
I am stalling out here.
I am going to call Chef Jem on this.
STALLING OUT ON VIRUS QUESTION
10:16 PM
I cannot afford to spend more time on this.
I have to move on to work on the Pac Symposium.
The WINDOWS is saying I have not activated it
even though it has accepted the activiation code.
Upsetting.
Time to go to bed.
How much to I want to pay to have access to my
old web sites on the new MACBOOK PRO?
I can update it on the old PC.
if I keep that machine.
I do not want the machine in my room.
For $40 bucks I can have NORTON FOR A YEAR.
How much is the free one?
It did not feel good, downloading it.
I could not find it in my documents.
REINSTALLED CUTE SITE BUILDER
10:51 PM
I am obsessing over not being able to get a complete.
I want to install the ENCHANTED GARDEN WELCOMES YOU
old Curesite builder file, even if I cannot use it now.
