downloading to dvd

do it
thank,s whisky (i hope this is the forum to ask
these questions)

First of all you cannot legally "download" XP........you can buy it at any
computer store.
Second...if you already have a "copy" of XP you can do a repair
installation...this will keep your settings etc...

How did those items show up as "popups"/?? what program was producing the
popups??
