Howard,
I don't know the answer for that question. My foggy recollection is
that it actually did run on XP in the very early life of the OS. I
think somewhere along the line, early on, after some Windows update or
service pack update, it would no longer function on XP. I can't swear
this is a fact, justgoing by my sometimes faulty memory.
