Was it a Windows update or a Microsoft update? Could have been for Office or even a driver one (they shouldn't do that IMHO). Could also have been a missed one as a fresh install of XP still gets the full update treatment of all available.
 Been stockpiling old Dells ready for the fall out. Three garage exhaust gas analyzers and two pub tills sorted so farBeer Printers will soon be the problem.
It just is.

Anyway, seems that Micro$oft have relented just a little bit and issued a patch for Internet Explorer on XP!

More here from this link to The Register:
Microsoft: You know how we said NO MORE XP PATCHES? ..........

A touch screen on a normal desktop, is pointless if you ask me

Reason being is that a mouse and keyboard offers far more control than a finger

both my machines have 2gb+ram and dual core processors but are slow as hell my g/f as an old laptop with xp 256mb of ram and a single core celleron ..... neither of my macines get used because to put it bluntly they are so slow they are unusable any one else noticed this? litteraly i cant even run a web browser on the wind7 machine it cant even keep up with my typing its rediculous :-/ deffo going to be going back to xp asap



Even my phone, graphics card has > 2gb ram.. LOL

You could prob buy used Dell desktop with 4gb ram (DDR3), Core2Duo 2.8ghz cpu for cheap these days.
Including Windows 7 COA license.

Those machines run Windows 7, Office, & browser very nicely... Even better if you upgrade hard disk for £50 to fairly nippy 1TB + 8mb cache SATA III.

So why people wish to inflict unnecessary pain on themselves, by still struggling with XP in the 21st century, I don't know..


problem is i find win 7 so ard to use [and annoyingly constantly crases doesnt run anyting type niggles] we just got a brand new laptop with 4 gb ram dual core processor etc unfortunately win8 and a touch screen..... the old acer i borrowed of my girlfriend [with its monster 256mb of ram] is so much quicker and doesnt miss a beat lol my personal laptop is a vista macine with 4 gb of ram..... slow as hell and a nightmare to use .... i still prefer xp i cant see wat te supposed benefits of using win7/8 is so far all ive noticed is tey realy do my ead in and te new lappy wit its damn touch screen litteraly gives me a eadache [to be fair touc screen fones i cant use wit both eyes as i see two fones litteraly painful] and yep so far taken me over 20 minutes to write tis reply wtf is tat all about? and to clarify te old lappy i borrowed is still better tan te new one my flat mate just spent over a grand on wtf?
me so horny me love you long throw
horn loaded for her pleasure

Chrome is far better and a lot safer. Unfortunately, I am now loading mine up with additional extensions and themes and other stuff so it may end up being like my Firefox which became slower and slower due to the number of add-ons it was carrying. There are some good add-ons to Chrome - I have just found Video Downloader Ultimate  which not only downloads videos in any of the available defs and formats but converts them at the same time and LastPass a password store (amongst other things) which is great 'cos you aren't keeping passwords on your PC/laptop but encrypted on a server so you can access them on whatever device you are using anywhere there is network access. 
For sidefills, can we have two enormous things of a type that might be venerated as Gods by the inhabitants of Easter Island, capable of reaching volumes that would make Beelzebub soil his pants.
