I have a old computer that needs to be able to run msn and music, thats it. windows xp works ok but it freezes alot, i was thinking of maybe trying minixp *the stripped down version* i have tried linux but my wireless card is one of the few that has little or no support or compatibilty. what should i use? even windows me would work if i could hack it alittle to get newest msn. or if there was a patch..

I thought of that, but it doesn't support even a recent msn.. hoping someone here knew the tricks for the 125 mb xp..

Win2k or install XP and strip it down making it run as little services and other processes as possible.

Hmm.... Try Liunx on it, should work.

Jesus christ do you ever read? Every post I read from you is either useless comments or useless advice.

Now for some helpful advice:
Use Nlite to shrink XP as much as you can.

It's nLite not Nlite.
